as justification for terminating the employment of the Applicant because the issues have been spent, In determining whether the actions of the Respondent was lawful the Court will again refer to the Staff Rules and Regulations (EBID), which states that the Respondent can separate any staff member on its own initiative pursuant to Article 9 (3) of the Staff Rules and Regulations (EBID) and that the said act will in itself be a disciplinary measure pursuant to Article 9 of the of the Staff Rules and Regulations (EBID). However, the exercise of this power dictates that it should be done fairly. Accordingly, the of the Staff Rules and Regulations (EBID) provides that the Bank sets up an appeal mechanism so that the aggrieved staff member will be given the opportunity to present his case or have recourse to defend his action without fear of reprisal pursuant to Article 11. The intent of the latter Article is to guarantee the right to fair hearing, and the compliance with due process in such a circumstance. Due process in the instant case is the right to be heard, to be fairly treated, efficiently and effectively by the management in the administration of justice especially when dealing with issues of misconducts that will give rise to disciplinary actions. The rights to due process therefore places limitations on the exercise of disciplinary powers, in order to guarantee fundamental fairness and justice. The Court in the case of Dr. Rose Mbatomon Ako V. West African Monetary Agency & ORS. (ECW/CCJ/JUD/01/13), noted that “the termination of appointment under regulations of any institution of ECOWAS including West Africa Monetary Agency is under statutory obligation to follow for terminating employment of staff.” 20 | P a g e
