(a) In accordance with Cap. 20, Paragraph 34 of the Force Standing Orders, an officer may be removed from the Kenya Police Force on prejudicial grounds when and if, \"the Commissioner of Police or Provincial Police Officer, as the case may be, considers that any member of the Inspectorate or subordinate officer has acted or behaved in a manner prejudicial to the peace, good order or good governance in Kenya; he or she may be, by notification in writing to the member of the Inspectorate or subordinate officer concerned, remove the said member of the Inspectorate or subordinate officer from the Force on such date as the Commissioner of Police or Provincial Police Officer, as the case may be, may specify\" (b) Between 11th and 17th February, 2008, the three officers No.59181 Ex-Cpl. Pius Wilson Siyah, No.53760 Ex-P.C. Bernard Kioko Kisoloki and No.88562 Ex-P.C. Daniel Chiwai Mwatata, who prior to their removal were attached to the Police Dog Unit, were assigned mobile patrol duties using police car Reg.No.GK A909N Nissan Double Cabin. While on duty, the officers were seen acting and behaving in a manner prejudicial to good order and discipline, and they were captured and shown on Citizen Television on the 7.00 p.m. news bulletin of Monday, 18th February, 2008, in a special report regarding illegal fuel siphoning from tanks in the Industrial Area. The officers were shown together with other persons - not police officers - in highly compromising circumstances in premises within Nairobi, which were suspected to be used for fuel smuggling. Their removal from the police force was, therefore, procedural as per Cap.20, Paragraph 34 of the Police Standing Orders. 2530 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 8, 2008"
