    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that Adikadir Mohammed Hassan was dismissed from the Police Service with effect from 19th February, 2008. (b) Abdikadir Mohammed Hassan was dismissed from the service following serious disciplinary proceedings after he absented himself from duty for 48 days without reasonable cause. Before the disciplinary action, he was involved in a road accident along Kiserian-Magadi Road on 24th March, 2007 while travelling in a vehicle GK A500E. He sustained a cut on the forehead and a pelvic injury. He was admitted at Kenyatta National Hospital and was discharged on 3rd April, 2007 after full recovery. Therefore, that cannot be cited as a reason for absenting himself. Previously, the officer had two other similar disciplinary cases. (c) The Minister cannot reinstate the ex-officer because a charge of absenteeism from duty without due permission is a very serious disciplinary offence, while desertion is a criminal offence. Further, due to the aforesaid, he does not qualify to be paid any dues, unfortunately."
