    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support this Motion on the extension of time. I wish they had asked for six months so that they can finish the work that they have to do. I want to thank this Committee on the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and specifically for going to my constituency, Marakwet East, and walked for almost 20 kilometres to reach the IDPs who are deep in the forest. We are not just talking about IDPs from post-election violence but the IDPs in my constituency are there because of the desire to conserve the Cherangany water tower. This Committee has done a great job. However, I wish that we could also give them more staff because it takes so long for the report to come out after they have visited various camps. The parliamentary staff assigned to this Committee are not adequate to expedite the report. So, if we have given them three months, when will the staff finish writing the report? So, I would request that we give them more staff so that if possible, each parliamentary staff is assigned to specific camps. This will expedite the process so that these people can live like other Kenyans. I also want to say that although the report has not been completed, after the Committee went to my constituency, the people of Embobut are now getting food from the Government and I really appreciate that."
