    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to oppose this Motion. I think like my friend, Olago Alouch said, the Leader of Government Business should wash his hands and come clean. What is the hurry? Where is the other business? Why do they want us to discuss this business and yet, we have got so much to do and they have not listed them? Order No.9 on the Order Paper is okay. We will handle it in the afternoon. Why do you want it now? Where is the other most important business which we have been waiting for since yesterday? It is not on the Order Paper. Where is the Finance Bill? Could you bring that one? I want to dismiss the notion, hon. Member C. Kilonzo was saying, that we will be wasting taxpayers’ money. We are being watchful. We are playing our role as representatives of the people of Kenya. We must be awake to the possibilities of this Government tampering with the rights of Kenyans. Kenyans are now suffering. We have got high prices of commodities. The Government is busy protecting banks. On this occasion, I think they just want to protect the banks. Let them bring the other one so that we can sought out the plight of Kenyans first. Before they bring the Motion for Adjournment, could they tell us what is happening to IDPs? Will they be resettled before Christmas? They have not told us what will happen to them. They promised to issue a Ministerial Statement on Thursday with regard to resettlement of IDPs. Are you bringing it forward? We cannot go for Christmas unless they tell us that all Kenyans will have been afforded a fair opportunity to enjoy like other Kenyans. So, what is the hurry for? We can stay throughout Christmas and work until we are assured that all Kenyans are okay."
