  Publishing false information and giving publicity to filthy propaganda will never bring any honours to ghanaweb and the earlier Akoto ghanaweb ceases these despicable acts the better.

  I read this story last Wednesday and was confused why the Judicial Appointment and Disciplinary Committee got involved in am employment matter of the Judicial Service. My confusion stems from the fact that I assumed the committee is responsible for the appointment and disciplinary matters of the Judiciary (those in the legal profession such as magistrates, judges from the lowest to the highest court and lawyers- Solicitors, Attorneys, or Barristers but excluding other non-legal employees of the Judicial Service. In other words, the Judicial Appointment and Disciplinary Committee is a regulatory body of the professionals within the Judiciary in Ghana. Employment matters of the Judicial Service should be handled by a separate Disciplinary Committee of the Judicial Service. That should not involve any judge, let alone a Justice of the Supreme Court. In other words, that should be done by the management of the Judicial Service headed by its administrative head (not the Chief Justice).
  
  If this is the system in Ghana, then, that is wrong. The body that deals with the appointment and disciplinary matters of the professionals should not be the same that should deal with employment and disciplinary matters involving staff of the Judicial Service. This is because the Judicial Service is different from the Judiciary. The Judicial Service is an agency and part of the Civil Service and therefore the employees are subject to the rules of the Civil Service and not the Regulatory body.
  
  Even if the dismissed employee was a qualified lawyer and a member of the Ghana Bar Association, any disciplinary matters pertaining to her work as an employee of the Judicial Service should not be a subject matter for a Regulatory body but but her employer under the terms and conditions of her employemnt. If she did something contrary to her professional conduct, then that could be considered separately by the Regulatory body afterwards. The two are not the same.
  
  How come the dismissed worker had to absent herself from work in order to pursue further studies at University of Ghana? Did the worker apply for study leave and if so was it refused to compel her to use time for work to study? Is it not in the employer's interest to encourage and support professional and personal development of its employees through further studies? If so what did the Judicial Service do to support her private studies?
  
  In my view and my experience as a former Employment Tribunal Case Worker and Panel Member (Judge), there is more to this case than meets the eye.
  
  If it is true that the initial story was by the husband of the dismissed worker, who is an employee of GNA and posted the article if it it was from GNA, then he is also in trouble and could lose his job.

  Now there you have it. Her chronic absenteeism is for the fact that she is a student. This is what has charactrisedthis Mahama NDC govt. where high profile appointmentshanded over to students. The results is that they don't pay attention to their job and what they are supposed to do, hence the rut in govt. PLease appoint people who are fully qualified whether or not that qualified belong to your party or not. THis is the ony way forward. I concur that Ms Kissieh decide what she wahts, to go to school or work. You just cant have both. Please bring some sense in the nation and stop the cheating.

  Another intellectually lazy in person of Dilly Circu!. So at your age and life experience you still don't know that it is not the President by the Chief Justice department which employs a Court Registrar. When would the likes of you reason up and stop the nonsense. Free speech does not mean spewing or uttering your nonsense freely. Use your intelligence and be responsible

  And Judiciary realize the absolute necessity of clamping down hard on many of the unscrupulous and unethical Journalists running around ruining the reputations of decent,responsible and hardworking individuals in this country!
  In addition to throwing the book at this deviant employee of the GNA, the news portals which gave wholesale currency to this "false, malicious and defamatory" a news item,must also be severely punished,to send the right message to all other media which encourage this type of 'bad' practice!

  This is a typical Ghanaian employee - making all effort to cheat his employer. Get paid for not performing and lying through her tooth.

  A LOT OF LAZY PEOPLE BEING PAID BY THE STATE AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SYSTEM. PEOPLE GO TO LUNCH AND NEVER RETURN TO WORK. THEY ARE STILL IN SCHOOL HOLDING HIGH POWERFUL JOBS WHEN GRADUATES CAN NOT FIND A JOB. THIS IS THE SYSTEM WE HAVE IN THE COUNTRY. WHOM YOU KNOW. THE SAME THING APPLIES TO A NUMBER OF AOUT MINISTERS. THEY ARE STILL TAKING MASTER DEGREE COURSES AND RUNNING A COUNTRY LIKE GHANA. NO WONDER THINGS ARE NOT GOING WELL. APPRENTICES IN CHARGE WHEN THERE ARE MORE THAN QUALIFIED FOLKS AROUND.
