Background
The Respondent, a personal banker employed by Kingdom Bank, was charged with theft/fraud and gross incompetence for failing to declare cash shortages/surpluses and improperly handling client transactions. After internal disciplinary proceedings, he was initially given a final written warning but this was upgraded to dismissal by the Grievance and Disciplinary Committee. The National Employment Council reinstated him, leading to this appeal.
