    "content": "Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also thank the Mover for donating that minute to me. I support the Motion and say that time should be extended to enable the Committee to accomplish its task and give its final report. I would have expected to get some update or, at least, a progress report made by the Committee and the Government, so that we can know the number of IDPs to be resettled, the categories of displaced persons, those who have been resettled and those who are yet to be resettled. However, more fundamentally – I will go by the line of other Members of Parliament – the Government seems to have focused on those who were displaced arising from the post-election violence in 2007. It is forgetting that there are other people who have been displaced as a result of inter-communal conflict. I think it is important that the Committee visits those areas because there are people who have been displaced and have left their land. Those people are either living with their relatives or have set up camps for the sake of their own security. Thirdly, and this is the last one, the Committee should also follow the proceedings of Parliament because there are people who have been evicted by Government forces. Therefore, those people are also displaced."
