    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I served in that Committee and I would like to congratulate them. I know that the workload was heavy. As you can see, there are very many sources of IDPs, including the historical injustices that have been meted upon our people. The 13 reports all point to historical injustices that are being seen now. I wonder at what point we are going to look at work that has been done before by the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) and the likes. There are other reports that have been done in the past, instead of us going back and using resources to start investigating afresh. Was there any relevance in making sure that what was found out before by the Committee could also be used? Perhaps the Committee can go back to some of the recommendations of these reports and ensure that the TJRC recommendations are implemented at some point. This is so that we are not going to have a cycle of investigations and counter investigations with the same recommendations that are never going to be implemented. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my own county, eviction notices have been given to the residents of Burat and the entire belt that is being occupied by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF). That is now before the Committee, but I foresee the same cycle where there will be recommendations to be done, we go on, and then it becomes a vicious cycle. I hope that at some point, the Committee will start to look at what already exists, so that resources are not wasted.
