Top Official Sued

Attorneys Al- Humeidi Al-Subeie and Nassar Al-Sarheed, representing a section head in the Private Education General Department at the Ministry of Education, filed five lawsuits against the undersecretary of the ministry in relation to the disciplinary measures taken against their client as such acts constitute abuse of authority. One of the lawsuits is on the deduction of one day salary – a step that the plaintiff considers malicious since the investigation result failed to support the complaint against the plaintiff, in addition to attempts to hide violations committed by the department which were contained in documents presented to the court. The second lawsuit is on the three-day salary deduction because the section head allegedly requested data from the principals of schools like the number of students to determine the student population considering the plaintiff has the authority to seek for such information. The third lawsuit is on the administration’s persistence to abuse its power against the plaintiff in view of his desire to expose violations committed by the administration, while the fourth lawsuit is on the cancellation of the decision to cut one week salary and the fifth lawsuit is about the amendment of his 2017 appraisal report which was changed in mid-2018 from ‘excellent’ (97 percent) to ‘good’ without justification.
