    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are coming to the end of the current parliamentary term. Five years down the road, the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are still in camps. The reasons that the Minister is giving do not matter to me. He said that the IDPs leave the camps at night and go back in the morning as if the Government goes on leave at night. The Government must take responsibility. This is a coalition Government. In fact, it is my submission that this coalition Government too merited existence because of the post-election violence that created the crisis of IDPs. There was forceful displacement of people. This House has done its bit. We have gone out there. We have urged the Government to do its bit. The Government must suspend whatever business it is doing to ensure the re-settlement of the IDPs, as part of the contribution to the governance of the Republic of Kenya. The Government should put everything into place. We do not care about the arguments between the Ministry of Lands and the Ministry of State for Special Programmes. We are not interested in arguments. We want our people to be re-settled. We owe it to them. We owe it due to our positions. I will not rest until I ensure that the IDPs are resettled. In fact, we are approaching the fourth anniversary of the National Peace Accord. It will be next Tuesday. If by that time things will not have been done, we want to give notice to this Government. They can dissolve the coalition as they were told by Justice Lenaola but they are not going to dissolve Parliament. In fact, the Coalition should not be dissolved for purposes of a general election. It should be dissolved for not resettling the IDPs. With those remarks, I beg to support."
