    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, where you and I come from – Sen. Were has raised it – because of our cultural practices, people do not accept to go and live in polythene papers on markets as IDPs. They get integrated into homes of relatives. These are people who are still suffering and living in indignity. The most shocking thing in the reports we have in this House – Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., is the one who brought the issue in the previous Parliament – is that, when they were compensating IDPs, in some areas, the Government was paying IDPs Kshs400,000 per family. In areas like Western and Nyanza, they were paying each family Kshs10,000. Why this disparity? This House as the defender and protector of counties, their people and governments must bring this matter to an end, by getting the Government to settle each and every person that lost their properties because of the misbehaviour of politicians. The Government must take responsibility because ultimate protection of every citizen lies with the Government. When the Government fails to protect people, it must take responsibility, compensate the people, and settle the people. This is not a matter that we can compromise on."
