"content": "(c) The Ministry does not plan to reinstate the officer to his earlier rank as the charges against him were serious and a breach of good order and discipline, contrary to Administration Police Act, Section 20(1) Chapter 85 and National Assembly and Presidential Elections Act, Cap 37 Section 3 of the laws of Kenya. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is the official answer. Yesterday, I called for the file of Simon and went through it because this is a very serious matter since his boss had commended him for a job well done. Later on, he was found to be drunk and transferred to another district and eventually demoted. I ordered them to check whether the guy had other cases before, which is not the case. So, ask Simon to do an appeal letter in order for the Disciplinary Committee to allow him to come and defend himself for purposes of retaining his rank. That is what we are doing now and, in fact, Mr. Kabogo should be happy with that latest development because he has not appealed. I, indeed, ask Mr. Kabogo to give me a copy of the letter of appeal in order for me to put it in the file so that the Disciplinary Committee can call Simon to come and give us his side of the story. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
