"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have taken time on my own to peruse Simonâs file and I found out that he has not appealed. I had agreed that we should assist this particular gentleman, but if the hon. Member is not co-operative, then it becomes very difficult for us to help somebody who comes from his constituency. The latest development is that the papers I laid on the Table are the ones I used to call for his file. I indicated to the Questioner that the officer should re-apply. He needs to re-appeal that he wants his rank to be retained. I cannot do that as an individual because there are set procedures to be followed in the Ministry. One of the procedures is that he has to go through the disciplinary committee. All of us know that if you have a problem wherever you are working, you have to go through the disciplinary committee. The disciplinary committee will decide whether or not he was drunk and disorderly on that particular day. It can then dismiss and not only demote him. However, in this circumstance, he has not appeared before the disciplinary committee. I cannot reinstate somebody who has not appeared before the disciplinary committee! That is what I am begging. Let him re-appeal. I am saying this because up to now he has not re- appealed. Give me a copy of his letter of re-appeal and then we put it in the file so that the disciplinary committee can call him to hear him out."
