    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance to add my voice to this very important Motion. I sit in this Committee. We had a challenge because of all the pending Bills that we were debating here in Parliament. There was a lot of work in Parliament, so we sacrificed to do more here and requested for this extension so that we can reach out to every corner of this country. We have gone to several parts of the country but we have not reached everywhere. The youths and women who are displaced have heard about this Committee and have been writing letters requesting us to visit those places. That is why we are asking for an extension so that we can do thorough work. There is a Bill that has been tabled today and it is this Bill which will define who an IDP is. This will help us to avoid seeing what we are seeing today where there are very many people claiming to be IDPs. It will also give protection to the Government especially when moving an IDP from one place to another. They will to be protected because there will be proper mechanisms and systems that will be in place. The Bill will also give a clear structure of resettling IDPs in future. My plea to the House is that this Committee is going to handle very sensitive matters of IDPs. We would like to bring out clear proposals that will address that issue once and for all."
