    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) No.89581 ex-PC, Dalmas Oduk was enlisted on 7th July, 2009 as a recruit constable. On passing out from the GSU Training School, he was posted to the Q Company and attached to GSU Tot Base Camp. The ex-constable was on annual leave which was ending on 8th December, 2012 after which, he did not report on duty as required until 12th March, 2012 at 11.00 a.m. after absenting himself from duty for 93 days. On 15th December, 2011 – that is three days after he had been reported absent - a signal was sent to Police Headquarters for absenteeism from duty. On expiry of 21 days, a letter declaring ex-police constable a deserter and another advising the paying section to stop his salary Ref.PF/89581/200709581/2007095470/62 and PF/89581/2007095470/63 dated 3rd January, 2012 were sent to Muthaiga Police Station and Police Headquarters, respectively. On 12th March, 2012, when he reported on duty, he was charged in Orderly Room Proceedings for absenting himself without leave contrary to Regulation 3 (9) of the Police Regulations. After taking into consideration his previous disciplinary record, he was dismissed from the service with effect from 30th December, 2011. He was informed of his right of appeal within seven days from the date of receipt of the dismissal letter. The officer, indeed, appealed directly to the Commissioner of Police in a letter dated 30th March, 2012, which was received on 5th April, 2012. Police Headquarters did reply to him in a letter dated 21st June, 2012 advising him to channel his appeal through the laid down channels for the same to be considered."
