A former consultant is suing government for in excess of $25 million for breach of contract after he says he took up an offer to direct the Ministry of Health’s mental health and maternal and child-health improvement programmes for just US$5,000 a month, giving up a better paying job in the United States, only to be told that the work agreement was invalidated.
In his action, Rudolph Richard Small complains of government invalidating the contract, saying he never had the job in the first place, for which he is seeking special damages to the tune of US$208,500.
Additionally, he is claiming aggravated damages, interest, court costs and any further orders which the High Court may deem just to grant.
