    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, disciplinary action was not just taken because he left to go to hospital. If you allow me, let me give my friend here the chronology of the events or the background of that particular officer. On 21st October, 2007 at about 19.15 hours at GSU Turkwell Camp in West Pokot District in Rift valley, the ex-constable absented himself without leave for a period of 10 days. He entered plea of guilt and he was convicted and sentenced to a fine of Kshs3,917. He accepted that one. Between11th November at about 08.00 hours and 29th November 2007 at about 18.02 hours at GSU Turkwell Camp within West Pokot District in Rift Valley Province, the constable absented himself again without leave for 18 working days. He was dealt with in orderly room proceedings and was convicted on his own plea and sentenced to a fine of Kshs7,050. Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, on 18th December, 2007, the ex-constable absented himself from duty for a period of 21 days and he was declared a deserter. He had stayed away for 21 days without us knowing where he was. So, he had to be declared a deserter. That is what the Police Force regulations stipulate. The ex-constable resurfaced on 4th February 2008 and reported on his own volition to Ruiru GSU Camp after being absent"
