    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in his Address to this House, the President mentioned the resettlement of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). I think the committee that resettled the IDPs did a commendable job. This is a job I personally did when I was the Provincial Commissioner, Rift Valley Province. I can assure you it is not a very pleasant thing. It is a difficult job. I am happy to note that 90 per cent of the IDPs have already been resettled, 36 police stations and/108 Administration Police posts set up. It is also good that schools have been rebuilt in the affected areas. However, leaders within that province have to walk an extra mile. There is need to engage the communities within that area in constant dialogue. I know there is a lot of mistrust just as it was during my time as the Provincial Commissioner in the area in the 1990s. The mistrust cannot end simply because of the presence of many security personnel. There is need for the leaders and the people in this areas to talk and find the way forward."
