    "content": "pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour regarding suspension and subsequent dismissal of Mr Paul Wambua Ndambuki from the Customs and Exercise Department in the Kenya Revenue Authority at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. On 27th October, 1998, Mr Paul Wambua Ndambuki of ID. No. 3505123 was suspended from KRA following allegations involving the alleged issuance of duplicate and triplicate copies of receipts which indicated different amounts. On 12th January 1999, the Appointments, Promotions and Disciplinary Committee of KRA held a meeting to determine Wambua’s case without according him an opportunity to be heard, to defend himself or to appeal the decision of the committee. Subsequently, he was dismissed on 22nd September1999. Article 50 of the Constitution provides for a right to fair hearing including a right to prepare a defence, to be present when being tried and to choose a representative in this trial. The unlawful and unjust suspension and dismissal of Mr Wambua violated his guaranteed rights under the Constitution. Section 41 of the Employment Act (Cap. 226) requires that before terminating employment, the employer must inform the employee of the reasons and give them an opportunity to respond, all of which the committee failed to do.
