    "content": "Thank you hon. Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 44 (2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Administration and National Security regarding people who were displaced from various parts of the Rift Valley such as Njoro, Subukia, Elburgon and others during the tribal clashes of 1991/1992. Within a period of time these people escaped to Kieni Forest in the Aberdare Ranges, engaged in the shamba system to sustain their livelihoods up to the year 2000, when the said system was stopped. Thereafter, they were squeezed into a section of the forest and given some land for temporary shelter while awaiting Government intervention. To date, these people, numbering 805 families, are still in the forest, which is also the water catchment tower for all the water used in Nairobi and its environs. There are also cases of the 2007/2008 displaced persons who sought refuge with their relatives all over central Kenya and other places, and are referred to as “intergrated Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)”, and who are yet to be settled. The Chairperson should also find out from the Ministry responsible when and how these IDPs shall be settled and give a statement to this House. Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir."
