    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill and to congratulate the Mover for a well documented proposal for legislation. It will make systems work in order for us to be accountable as the Government; the Government includes this arm. It is the best way to get out of the mess; we have had of displacement of many caused by conflicts between communities or political competition that results in disagreements. Getting a system that will bring accountability in finance is very critical. This is because you know the Central Government has used a lot of money in the IDPs’ resettlement programme. However, that money may not have been directed into the benefits of the IDPs because of lack of accountability and systems. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is also compliance with issues of the Constitution. This piece of legislation is proposing that we have the responsibility of creating awareness and having a campaign, so that it is understood. In this country, there are very many IDPs who feel they are not accepted by the hosting communities where they live. We need to have a campaign, so that people can be sensitive and appreciate that wherever these IDPs exist they are entitled to service in the educational amenities and preferential treatment to children who are either orphaned, or whose parents have been displaced and are, therefore, economically challenged. I support this because it will give a solution that is legal and predictable. There are institutions like the national committee and the local committees that take responsibility."
