"content": "of Mr Japhet Mochama Mauti (Force No.90638 and Identification Card No.25917223) from the National Police Service. On 21st November 2016, the National Police Service Commission interdicted Mr Japhet Mochama Mauti for allegedly being found in possession of 720 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition and five litres of rifle cleaning oil without proper authorisation. It is unfortunate that Mr Mauti remains interdicted for that long despite having been acquitted of all charges by a court of law on 25th July 2019. The court cited the failure by the prosecution to provide sufficient evidence to support the claims. The action by the National Police Service Commission is contrary to the provisions of the Employment Act Cap. 226, which outlines the due process to be followed by an employer in termination of employment, including the rights and obligations of both the employer and employee. It is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on the following: 1. Why the National Police Service Commission has not reinstated Mr Japhet Mochama Mauti despite his acquittal by the court for lack of evidence on allegations levelled against him. 2. Measures the Ministry of Interior and National Administration has put in place to ensure that all employees serving in the National Police Service who are subject to disciplinary proceedings are fairly processed as per the law and the respective standard operating procedures. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
