    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is irrelevant. He was just wasting my time before I could make my points. We, as a country, must live together. We have to respect each other. That is the only way we can have a country called Kenya where everybody's rights are respected. Those IDPs are human beings. Mr. Ruto, if you are thrown out of your home, and somebody says that you negotiate before you go back to your home, how would you feel? Yet, you are here, trying to prevaricate over the security and rights of those helpless Kenyans, who have found themselves in the situation they are in. As a member of Government, I think time has come for us to come out and apologise to the IDPs for not having taken the responsibility that we were supposed to take. We failed to protect their lives and property when they needed us most. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when they needed the Government most, they were let down. Now, the Government must move on to, at least, save its face by re-settling them."
