    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I stand to join my colleagues in opposing this Motion. Just a few weeks ago the Government began the process of resettling the victims of the post-election violence. I closed the last IDP camp in my constituency yesterday. I am looking up to this House and the Government to fulfil its promise of supporting the victims, who have agreed to go back to their farms and homes. I expect the Government to provide housing as well as food, which should last between five and eight months. If this House today proceeds on recess, I will be worried about who May 14, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1045 I will run to when it comes to fulfilling of the Government promises and provision of the few items that the victims of the post-election violence require. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is wise for us to proceed with the sittings of this House. Up to now, we do not have the proper policy within which this issue of resettlement should be done. We, as hon. Members who love peace in this country, agreed with the Government to take the lead. But we will not accept to be left alone to deal with the situation when the Government is seeing no more camps. I would rather we take more time to come up with ways in which we could assist these people as we resettle them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to oppose this Motion and say that we should remain in this House to continue doing good work for our people. Thank you."
