    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Prisons Department has a separate department for disciplinary cases. In this case, the officer was taken to the Departmental Disciplinary Board where he was given time to defend himself. He had been warned three times. The first warning was given on 22nd July, 1994(?). The second warning was given on 2nd February, 1994(?) for trafficking with the prisoners, which was contrary to the Prisons Act. The third and last warning was issued on 22nd July, 1994(?) when he brought in drugs and tobacco. In this case, when he was being grilled by the disciplinary committee, he was given a chance to defend himself, which he did, but he never produced any witnesses. I have evidence to show in all the cases where he agreed that, indeed, he committed the offences. He appealed to the Public Service Commission when he was time barred, because he was given six months to do so. When he was dismissed in 2006, again, he appealed to the Commissioner of Prisons. His appeal was also dismissed because it was late. He was also given a certificate of discharge. So, the Commissioner of Prisons gave him a fair judgement instead of taking him to court."
