    "content": "Members who come from areas where there are Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) or where they have been displaced have a special responsibility to accelerate peace to enable resettlement of all the internally displaced Kenyans. All these are points of mutual consent which both sides have agreed on. We should cease to talk about both sides and talk about this House. We have also agreed about identification and prosecution of perpetrators. Let us take steps so that the rule of law may reign. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want, finally, to say this: If we agree that we should not anticipate debate as Members and that is, indeed, the rule, then we should not respond to comments outside the House. It is not just civil servants. Civil servants have responded to comments by politicians. Let us be fair even to those outside the House. I want to agree with the caution that, let us exercise restraint, so that we enable the process to move without hitches and we adopt consultations. Yes, the Bills spell out the structures and each one of us can tell our constituents; it is as per the Bills published by the House. So, it is not wrong to mention what there is. Kenyans need to know. But let us pass it so that it is open to everybody and becomes a law. With those few remarks, I beg to second."
