    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been able to look at the entire file exhaustively. The letter written by the DC was written on behalf of the District Human Resources Advisory Board. It was the same Advisory Board that recommended dismissal of the employee, because he was involved in a series of fraud cases, dating back to 1982; this was three years after he had been employed. On the first occasion he was involved in a fraud case; he was warned and surcharged. In the subsequent case, he was involved in fraud involving Kshs100,000, and he was interdicted, arrested by police, taken to court and subsequently the case was withdrawn from court. He was reinstated. On the third occasion, he was involved in the disappearance of Kshs300,000. It was on the basis of this that the Advisory Committee chaired by the DC, Busia, sent a recommendation to the Public Service Commission for the dismissal of this particular officer in public interest. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that employee was given an opportunity to make an appeal; in fact, he made two appeals to the Public Service Commission, which is an independent body, as you know, and the Commission disallowed both appeals. Under the circumstances, I do not think that there is any new information that I need, because I am satisfied with the action taken against this particular employee."
