    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a sad case but I want to give a chronology of events before I answer that one. On March, 2008, Mr. Onyoni was driving a matatu within the city centre when he caused an obstruction. This angered the police officer who was also a driver residing at Ruiru. He was driving a Government vehicle and he responded by confiscating Mr. Onsare's driving licence. He went with the licence and the victim did not know how to get the keys and the licence back. Later Mr. Kibet called the subject and told him to go to Ruiru Police Station in order to collect his driving licence. He also corruptly solicited for Kshs2,000 as an inducement so that he could return the licence to him. This same driver felt that it was unfair and reported the matter to the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission for investigations. The matter was investigated by Sergeant Juma Musi and the conversation between the driver and the police officer was recorded on 14th March. On 28th March, the Anti-Corruption officers also recorded another conversation between the driver and the police officer. They were satisfied that an offence under the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act No.3 of 2003 had been established. They proceeded to lay a trap with a view to arresting the CID officer, which was done. We have some leads. As to whether the driver is dead or alive, we have put an inquiry and I think that we will know the position of this driver within a short period because he did not turn up for the court proceedings. I would like the Questioner to bear with us because there is some information which I would not want to divulge to the House because of the sensitivity of this matter in order for us to get hold of this driver whether alive or dead."
