    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to thank hon. Ekwe Ethuro for those beautiful remarks, especially for the women Nominated Member of Parliament and recognizing the work that we have done in this Tenth Parliament. I am sure it will go down in history. But I also want to thank him because he is one of our honorary Members of Kenya Women Parliamentary Association. He has supported us. Indeed, as women Parliamentarians when we had a fundraiser for women, we all came out in support for him, which is very rare. But we have done that because he has really supported women’s agenda. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to also congratulate the hon. Member - He was our Chair in this Committee - for a good work that he has done for the internally displaced persons in this country. The IDP issue, though it actually picked in 2007, has been a problem in this country for more than 20 years. I will give an example of Talai Community who were displaced from Nandi and were taken to Gwassi Hills who are my neighbours. Today, they speak both Suba and Kalenjin language as well. They were taken back to their community, but they are still displaced within their community. So, this Bill is very timely because it does not only look at the issue of IDPs of 2007, but before that. It also anticipates any instance of displacement in the future, which, God forbid should happen."
