    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to add my voice on the issue of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). I am very happy that we are finally putting enough resources to be able to resettle all the IDPs. The allocation of Kshs2.9 million for land, Kshs1 million for forest evictees and Kshs4.4 billion for houses, food and non-food items, with the Ministry of State for Special Programmes is a good idea. What is most important is the manner in which that resettlement will take place, so that we do not have IDPs who will say that they were never resettled at the end of this process. Money should get to the right hands and not into people’s pockets as has been the case before. So, there has to be a very clear system of resettling these IDPs. We must not go to the general elections with people being homeless or living in tents. We must get everybody settled in the country. Even more importantly, those who still have land need to go back to their land. I think the process of reconciliation should begin at that level, so that we do not have a repeat of these unfortunate events."
