    "content": "(b)The Minister is also aware that one Force No. 101461 ex-service warrant officer II, Mr. Evans Maisiba Bitange, has not been compensated since he was dismissed from the service. Personnel who are dismissed from the service are not legible for payment of retirement benefits according to the Armed Forces Act, 1968. (c)The Ministry of State for Defence cannot consider reinstating ex-warrant officer II, Mr. Evans Maisiba Bitange immediately or in future because he was dismissed for gross misconduct and, therefore, the dismissed warrant officer cannot also be compensated because of the gravity of the offence which led to his dismissal from the service. Previously, his personal records have been tainted by indiscipline cases as follows:- (i) On 15th July, 2009, he failed to report to his place of work contrary to Section 3(2) (a) of the Armed Forces Act, 1968. He was tried, found guilty and fined one day’s pay and forfeited one day pay. (ii) On 24th July, 2009, he reported on duty late and provocatively challenged his colleagues in the Dash 8 Aircrafts section to be late for a scheduled VIP flight. (iii) Over the weekend of 25th and 26th July, 2009, he failed to report to work contrary to Section 34 of the Armed Forces Act, 1968, as ordered of all the Dash Aircrafts 8 service crew. He was subsequently reprimanded for his offence."
