Martin Akowuah, the man contesting his dismal from the National Identification Authority at the National Labour Commission, is scheduled to attend a further hearing on April 11, 2024.
A preliminary hearing on December 11, 2023, ended in a deadlock because the authority disagreed with some of Akowuah’s reliefs.

His reliefs included reinstatement, salary arrears with interest and damages.
The case has been escalated to this highest decision-making panel at the commission.
Akowuah, 39, until his dismissal, was the District Registration Office for the La Nkwantanang Madina Municipal Office of the authority.
He was dismissed reportedly because he had started work before the official time in his bid to clear the long queues of Ghana Card seekers.
Akowuah said his dismissal came via a notice on WhatsApp.
He also accused the New Crusading Guide newspaper of publishing false reports about his case being dismissed.
Akowuah felt he was being proactive by starting work earlier to deal with the long queues for Ghana cards.
An online petition was started to get Akowuah reinstated. It has reportedly garnered over 700 signatures, exceeding the target of 500.
