    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the squatter problem in Coast Province is unique and this process does not involve the settlement of squatters in that province. However, I assure the hon. Member that we are putting more emphasis on proximity and other logistics as we carry out the settlement and relocation of the IDPs. It is pointless to relocate people from Kisumu, for instance, and settle them in Coast Province because transport and logistics alone will consume a lot of money. So, emphasis is put on proximity and finding land where those that are being settled will easily get along with the communities around. That is important, at least, from the experiences that we have had after the post-election violence and even before. Translocation of populations, although Kenyans are free to live anywhere, must be sensitive to the communities who should be involved in the processes. On the current programme for the resettlement of IDPs, I can assure the hon. Member that there is no possibility of them being taken to Coast Province. That is the case of those who were displaced as a result of post-election violence. If some are identified in Coast Province, then we will look for land in that province. The list I have given is purely to show you that we had large expressions of interest from various individuals from all over the country. In order to be transparent, I have given the full list of those who have offered their land for sale wherever it is situated."
