    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, at the beginning, I wish to thank the Chairman of this Committee and support the extension of the time requested. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important that this Committee is given adequate time to visit all the areas of this country. Therefore, a detailed report must be developed so that the plight of all those affected by the post-election violence is addressed. We have heard from the media that there are even some leaders of the IDP camps who are selling food. We want this Committee, as it moves round to establish these culprits, so that they can also be punished for this crime against these innocent Kenyans. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Committee has not visited Lari Constituency, where we have IDPs and integrated families. Therefore, with the extension of time, it will be able now to visit all the areas. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, it is important that we note that these families are really suffering. They have no water or food and are living in leaking tents. It is important that adequate attention is given to the plight of these people. It is, therefore, important that this House and the Government takes the plight of IDPs very seriously and makes sure that before the end of 2012, all the IDPs in all regions of this country will be fully settled. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I fully support the extension of time to facilitate the Committee to move to all provinces and counties."
