Private Philip Ochieng Obudi service number 66074 of 78 Tank Battalion, Kenya Army, absented himself without official leave on 15th May, 2004 at 1200 hours and has never reported back to duty. According to the Armed Forces Act, Section 31(D) states:- \"If a person absents himself or herself without leave for a continuous period of more than 90 days, he is counted a deserter.\" Snr. Private Ochieng has remained a deserter since August 2004. Both military and civil authorities were informed as per the regulation and they have continued to pursue the disappearance of the serviceman with a view to establishing his whereabouts. A missing person can only be legally declared dead after the expiry of seven years since his or her disappearance. It is 2772 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 25, 2007 only after the expiry of this period that the issue of compensation is commenced through the Attorney-General's Chambers."
