    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also want to laud the Minister for rationalizing of the Government expenditure to remove waste and the non-priority expenditure and to focus it into more important areas such as resettlement of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). However, I would like to encourage the Minister to focus on the IDPs that have been forgotten, the likes of Mr. Orinda of Karachuonyo, who lost his family in Naivasha. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, whereas it is important for us to look at IDPs that are in tented camps, we must also look at IDPs that have been forced to go back to their ancestral homes through no fault of their own, when they have not been to those homes for over 30 to 40 years. Some are actually strangers in those homes and are finding difficulties fitting back in. We must put in place measures to accommodate them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also want to laud the bold step we are taking towards a reform agenda by allocating Kshs2 billion towards Agenda 4. Even though that amount is not adequate, given the circumstances, I think it is a step in the right direction. But we do not need to be apologetic about it because the way the Minister was speaking, it is like we are apologizing for fronting a reform agenda."
