• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are people who have not known how these procedures are followed. Once you write a letter to the Commissioner of Police through your presiding officer, it does not mean that it is you who goes physically to hand over to the OCS, the OCPD and the PPO. Once you write to the Commissioner through your presiding officer, then there will be an automatic procedure which goes all the way to the Commissioner of Police, who then refers the appeal to a committee on discipline. When we asked Police Constable Kioko to appeal, he did so, ... view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member was a Provincial Commissioner and I agree that he knows the procedures. However, did the procedure during his tenure entail looking for the area MP to hand in an appeal? In this particular case, Police Constable Kioko gave his appeal to hon. Kiilu. I am requesting hon. Kiilu to ask Kioko to take the appeal to his presiding officer, so that we can consider it. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Kiilu should be the one to answer that, but allow me to check the information. The information I have, which he has not denied because he is a good friend of mine, states like this: “The Minister cannot consider the officer for reinstatement as he did not appeal against the sentence as advised by the PPO, Nairobi. This is in a letter reference BEEST115 Vol.1120 dated 18th May, 2009”. It was not until 11th March, 2010 when an appeal was forwarded to the Commissioner of Police by hon.

That means that when they went through the file of PC Kioko, they found that the appeal had not reached, or it had not gone through the right channel.

Kiilu, be advised to appeal through the presiding officers all the way up to the Commissioner. There is a number of disciplinary cases which are still waiting. I would--- view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the primary reason for an appeal is for your case to be heard. That is the reason why you must appeal. There is a committee that deals with those who are having disciplinary cases. It is that committee which decides that an appeal has merit, and reinstates applicants to their positions. It may also find that an appeal has no merit, and so an applicant cannot be reinstated to his position. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am suggesting, just as hon. ole Lankas has also suggested, that we take this matter to the relevant Departmental Committee; I have no objection to that; we want to know the details of it. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will go with the decision. The hon. Member can come and take tea with me in the office, and then we agree on the way forward; this can be next week or the week after. view
