    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)Mr. Benson O. Ambuni (PF No.1989006740) was dismissed from the Civil Service while serving in the Ministry of Public Works on 8th December, 2011 after it was discovered that he had deserted duty with effect from 1st December, 2008 and his whereabouts were unknown. Mr. Ambuni appealed to the Public Service Commission (PSC) against the dismissal vide letter dated 12th January, 2012 but the appeal was disallowed at a meeting held by the Commission on 25th April, 2012. The PSC has, however, advised that Mr. Ambuni has a right to apply for a review of that decision, in accordance with the PSC procedures. (b) It is, therefore, premature to consider reinstating Mr. Benson Ambuni as the Commission had just conveyed the outcome of their decision to the authorised officer and he is yet to exercise his right to a review of the case. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sure that the hon. Member is aware that any reinstatement is subject to the authority of the Commission after exhausting the disciplinary procedures. In this case, the avenue for any review would be the appeal to the Commission with adequate evidence to substantiate the need for a review and his reinstatement. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
