The employment tribunal has ordered the Prosecutor General’s Office to compensate a former public prosecutor for unfair dismissal.
Aminath Areej Hussain was sacked on December 9 after the human resource department deemed her “unfit” to work at the PG office. The lawyer had served as a public prosecutor since early 2013.
Areej filed a complaint with the tribunal noting that she was not cautioned or given prior warning before her abrupt dismissal.
In its ruling in Areej’s favour, the tribunal said the PG office failed both to substantiate the facts of the case and ensure procedural fairness.
