Indeed, the officer appealed but the Assistant Minister did not take cognizance of that appeal when you directed that he comes back to tell this House why the officer was suffering double jeopardy, given that he had been charged under Orderly Room proceedings and subsequently charged in a court of law. In his answer, the Assistant Minister failed to state anywhere that this officer had been charged in court. Indeed, it would not be fair for this officer to be told to appeal again when he had already appealed. The Assistant Minister’s officers kept this information from him."

The letter that he wrote, which was purported to have been an appeal, was done by the Questioner, and he is the one who took it to the Commissioner of Police. What I am saying is that the officer should appeal through the right channel, by giving it to his presiding officer, so that it can go all the way to the Commissioner of Police. That is when his appeal will be heard. The way he did it is not right. The officer wrote the appeal and gave it to the Questioner and the Questioner took it to the Commissioner of Police, thereby avoiding the other officers below the Commissioner of Police."
