    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to commend the Members who represented us in that very important meeting, for the good work that 544 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 17, 2008 they have done. I am very impressed with the work that they did and the able representation that they gave on our behalf. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Report has done a lot of deep analysis on most of the problems that are facing us. The Report has very ably talked about the food security in the countries involved - especially in Africa. It has also talked about the economic partnership and the maternal mortality. It has also discussed in details about the Kenyan situation. I would like to request that such an important Report should be availed to us before we come to debate it on the Floor of the House, so that we have a chance to go through it. When we go through it we will be in a better position to debate it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the recommendations given in this Report, especially on Kenya as captured in Resolution Three, are extremely important to us. This Section addresses the problems that we faced. We must now ensure that this Report is implemented. Parliament should ensure that reports, when adopted, are implemented. On many occasions most reports which are adopted by the House are not implemented. We should have sufficient machinery to ensure that reports that are adopted are implemented. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Report addresses the issue of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). The Government, including the Tenth Parliament, must ensure that the causes of the post-election violence are addressed. Some of these problems, which are also addressed in this Report, include the disparity between the rich and the poor. This is expressly explained in this Report. This Parliament should ensure that we reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. If we do not do so, then we will not avoid the kind of situation that we experienced after the general election. We will continue having these problems. The Mungiki menace and other forms of unrest are mostly as a result of the disparity between the poor and the very rich. We, as a House, must ensure that we address these issues and focus more on reducing the gap between the very rich and the very poor. The situation of the IDPs must be addressed very urgently. I come from a community where we have IDPs, who are suffering. This matter is addressed in this Report. We must ensure that this problem takes priority, so that our people are re-settled. This will ensure that our people are able to work and earn a living, rather than being refugees in their own country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a good Report; it is not controversial. But I want to urge that we find a methodology of ensuring that such good reports are implemented. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
