    "content": "handling his case declined to sign the handover letter leading to his prolonged detention at the military cell. This is contrary to Kenya Defence Forces Act which outlines that a service member can only be held in custody for a maximum of 42 days. THAT, three months later, Mr. Mbaabu was transferred to the 12th Engineers Battalion guardrooms, Thika Barracks for another detention and upon determination of his case, he was dismissed from the Kenya Defence Forces on the basis of his health status without any compensation and in violation of his right to equal protection under law. THAT, efforts to have the matter addressed by the Kenya Defence Forces have been futile and unsatisfactory. THAT, the matter presented in this Petition is not pending before any tribunal or court of law. Therefore, your humble Petitioner prays that the National Assembly through the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations; (i) inquires into the matter in its entirety including the prolonged detention at the military cell and wrongful dismissal with a view to address the Petitioner’s plight; (ii) intervenes so that the officer is transferred to Mathare Mental Hospital; and (iii)makes any other order or direction that it deems fit in the circumstances of the case. And your Petitioner will ever pray."
