    "content": " I am left with two. Let me answer them in a minute. The Member for Baringo South asked when the bandits would be removed and weeded out from Rugus, Mukutani and all the other areas. I do not know, but we are doing whatever we can day and night. We do not sleep, and we will neither retreat nor surrender. We will not change our minds nor give in. We will reclaim any space and secure every part of our country, but nobody will harass us because that way, we will lose it. The language of bandits and terrorists is to try and divide people - divide political leaders on one side and security agencies on the other so that they can succeed. I do not know when we will wipe out banditry, but we will. Lastly, what are the plans around compensating IDPs in Mukutani and other areas that have been affected? Again, this process has been on the table for a long time, but due to budgetary constraints, it has not moved for the last five years. Therefore, the IDPs in question are not a creation of the attacking camp in Kapindasum or the recent attacks in the last few months. It is an old problem that we are committed to dealing with, the same way we are committed to dealing with IDPs across the country. I want to promise, Hon. Deputy Speaker and the House, that the IDPs in Mukutani who have been affected by decades of violence and banditry in Baringo will be resettled. We will mobilise enough resources and - under my watch, as long as I am in this Ministry together with my colleagues - go out of our way to make sure that, that matter is closed, the same way other incidents of IDPs have been addressed across the country."
