    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, another thing which is important and has been raised is the issue of the IDP resettlement. Quite a number of work was done along that line. It is true that we do have IDPs who are still unsettled. We know 1,000 IDPs put together the Kshs10,000 that we gave them to buy land in Nyahururu. They bought a 50 acres piece of land. This is a very small piece of land for over 1,000 people. You can very well imagine the environmental degradation that is taking place there. We want to convey the message very loudly that we are not a cruel Government. We are a Government that cares for its own people. A demonstration is the work that was done yesterday in Eastern Province where the President and the Prime Minister distributed food to people in Loiyangalani, North Horr and Sololo areas. People were also given drilling machines to drill water. Animals were being bought and sent to Athi River. We said that this is going to continue. That was a symbolic launch that is going to be replicated all over the country. This is because this is a Government that must care for its own people. We are not going to abandon our own people at a time when they are suffering from drought due to lack of rain for no fault of their own. That is going to be done. I must say here that even as we say people must move out of the forest, which they must, we will do so in a humane manner. This is important. We must definitely conserve our environment. The conservation is extremely important. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the matters of the border security with Somalia, Ethiopia and Southern Sudan, as far as the border with Somalia is concerned,"
