    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I support this Motion, I would like to remind Kenyans that it will not be lost. Many a times, when hon. Members filed Questions regarding IDPs, the Executive arm of the Government and especially the Ministry concerned, would put doubt as to whether IDPs exist in this country. They would contest assertions by hon. Members and real situations at times. So to say, this Committee, if not for anything else, can be lauded for giving a second opinion to Kenyans. Many a times, when we insist that, that situation should be resolved once and for all, the Government would even come forth and say that people who are not IDPs are moving into the camps and faking the IDP situation. I think the Committee has done well, at least, to put the Government on its toes. Members of Parliament who come from places which are affected so much have even confirmed that when the Committee visited the areas, the Government moved in, at least, to supply food rations for the first time. This is not just about an extension of time of either three or six months. We would like to say that this Committee should be a standing committee until it ensures that all IDPs have been resettled by this Government. Their mandate has been expanding. There are tribal clashes and conflict arising from the drought situation in this country. Due to that, I would like to support this Motion and plead that this Committee be supported. I support"
