    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) Bill, Bill No. 21 of 2012. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion because, first of all, it is a shame to this Government that for the last four-and-a-half years, there are some people who were misplaced because of politics and, up to date, they are still living in IDP camps. It is a pity that the Government is not serious about resettling them. So, this particular Bill will, therefore, address some of the challenges and difficulties facing these Kenyans who are living in pathetic situations. It is only this Government which can solve their problems. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in Kibwezi Constituency, we have a lot of people who were moved from Kyulu Hills. They are scattered all over the constituency. Most of them live at a place called Makindu. They have been living in five camps for the last 20 years. They have been living there in a pathetic condition. They do not have clean water, shelter, medical care, land of their own or basic necessities. This particular Bill will even address the plight of our people in Kibwezi to make sure that they are resettled. We want the Government to give them land which they can call their own so that they can continue living like any other Kenyans in this country. So, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Bill because it is timely and it will take care of other parts of the country to make sure that our people are living in peace. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
