    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have read the Motion carefully and agonized in my mind over it. It surely pains me to see that we have doubts over such a simple Motion. We have just come from the elections. After the process of electioneering, when we were seeking votes to be elected as hon. Members, that post-election skirmishes broke out, and eventually we had IDPs everywhere. We are now busy trying to resettle these IDPs. We are putting them in trucks, taking them back to where they belong and asking them to resettle. We would like them to be resettled carefully. They suffered because of us. When they are being resettled by the Kenya Red Cross (KRC) and other organizations, we are busy trying to refuse to go, sit with them and create harmony, so that the oneness they experienced throughout their lifetime, when they lived with their neighbours, is created again. We are busy trying to say that we want to remain in Nairobi. It is almost immoral to think that an hon. Member, who comes from where there are IDPs, will not be burning to run home to make sure that his or her votes are well secured! He or she would want to see that those who were injured are appeased. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, His Excellency the President has found it necessary to raise money, so that the IDPs can, at least, be put back to where they were before the elections. Unfortunately, instead of us trying to go home, so that we can await this money, and so that we can make sure that the little portion the IDPs will get is utilised to build shelter and schools, we want to remain in Nairobi. How fair is this?"
