    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member would have listened to my explanation first. When Mr. David Koech, not the MP, was asked to come and give an explanation as to why he was extorting money from these Nigerians, he, first of all, refused. He was later on summoned through a letter. When he came, he also denied. However, those who testified did allude to the fact that he did, indeed, extort money from these Nigerians. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a police force is a disciplined force. We cannot and we will not accept bribes to exchange hands because it is giving a bad image, first, to the police and the country. In fact, hon. Koech should have thanked us for having got rid of him because he was giving us a bad image. That is why we could not reinstate him. In any case, he could not even re-apply for reinstatement because he was aware of what he did. I am very sorry for what he did, but we had to do exactly that. We are trying to remove those kinds of people from the police force, so that we have a clean police force without any element of bribery at all. That is our stand."
