    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that the said officer went missing while on a peace-keeping duty in Liberia in August, 2006. (b) Immediately the report on the disappearance of Chief Inspector A.H. Abikar was received, the United Nations Mission in Liberia set up a task force comprising of United Nations Mission in Liberia and Liberia National Police to trace the officer. The Kenya Government also sent a team of three officers to trace him. In spite of all the efforts made to unveil the mysterious disappearance, the officer has not been traced to date. Investigations regarding the disappearance are still ongoing. (c) The officer's salary was stopped in the month of September, 2006, 30 days after the date of his disappearance. This is in accordance with the Police Force Standing Orders Cap. 20, Paragraph 37(i) and (ii), which states: \" When an officer absents himself from duty for a period of 21 days, he is declared a deserter. At the expiry of 30 days from the day the officer absents himself from 1634 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 3, 2008 duty, he is struck off the strength. Once an officer is struck off the strength, his name is removed from the payroll and his salary stopped.\" Regarding the other request by the hon. Member concerning his family's accommodation, I will consider that on humanitarian grounds. Therefore, they will be allowed to stay in the house at the CID Headquarters."
