asked the Minister of State for Defence:- (a) under what circumstances SPTE Evans Ochieng (SVC No. 61522) was dismissed from employment in May 2006 after serving in the Armed Forces for 18 years; (b) whether he could confirm that the officer was held in custody for 311 days without being charged in court and, if so, what was the justification; and, (c) when his terminal dues will be paid.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the answer the Assistant Minister has just read is quite misleading. I have a statement here which clearly indicates that the serviceman was detained in unlawful custody for about 311 days. If at all it is alleged that he committed offences of fraud, why was he not arraigned in court? Why was he simply dismissed to go home?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am still not satisfied with the answer. What is happening here is that, that man was a very junior officer and his responsibility in the forces was just to prepare vouchers. Then those vouchers would be taken to Warrant Officer I, II and III to certify. How did it happen that he is the only person who was sacrificed in this process, while the three officers have been left behind working in the forces?

asked the Minister for Agriculture:- (a) whether he could provide details of cases that have been successfully arbitrated by the Sugar Arbitration Court in favour of sugarcane farmers since 2006; (b) which sugar companies, if any, have failed to honour the awards; and, (c) what disciplinary action he will take against sugarcane millers who have failed to honour the awards.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am still not satisfied with the answer to part “c” of the Question. The Question is very clear. I wanted to know what steps the Ministry will take against sugar companies which have failed to satisfy those awards.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, could the Assistant Minister confirm when he will force these sugar companies to pay up for all those cases which have been concluded and tell us by what time this will be done?

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I fail to understand why the Ministry failed to give out the entire contract once and for all, so that this road could be done to the satisfaction of the people who use it.

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is hon. Kinyanjui right to impute improper motive on the Member who raised the statement? Did they doubt her integrity when she raised the statement?
