    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) On 8th April, 2009, ex-PC Gerald Kioko Mbinda, Force No.54962, was arrested in Voi Town, within Taita Taveta County, while being in possession of one toy pistol, three teargas canisters, a pair of handcuffs and a Somali sword. He was subsequently charged in Orderly Room proceedings as being guilty of an act to the prejudice of good order and discipline, contrary to Regulation 3, Sub-Regulation 41, of Police Regulations. He entered a plea of guilty to the charge and was sentenced to dismissal from the Police Force by the Provincial Police Officer (PPO), Nairobi, with effect from 30th April, 2009. The officer was informed of his right of appeal within seven days from the date of dismissal, a right he never exercised. (b)The Minister cannot consider the officer for reinstatement as he did not appeal against the sentence as advised by the PPO, Nairobi, in a letter reference B/EST/1/1520, dated 18th May, 2009 until 11th March, 2010, when an appeal was forwarded to the Commissioner of Police by the Questioner. This was also contrary to the procedures, which require an appeal to be lodged within seven days of dismissal, through the presiding officer."
