    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I think I had given up. Noting the position we are in and the desire to move forward, and also noting that we are experiencing teething problems, there are issues that are of importance to this nation and issues that have been raised in the past. With that, I seek your intervention on an issue that I raised on the plight of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), resulting from the 1991/1992 tribal classes – people who ran to the Aberdares in Kieni Forest. That is a water catchment area that serves this city with water. That situation continues to mushroom despite all the problems. Those are IDPs who have actually been through three regimes now. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I also sought an intervention about the Integrated IDPs who are all over this country. Those IDPs are still suffering. So, I placed that request to the Chairman of the Departmental on Administration and National Security, hon. Kamama, but I have not gotten any answer for a very long time. Even attempts to actually get it straight from him at the Committee level have not been very fruitful. I, therefore, would seek your intervention that Kenyans who we represent are waiting to know when and how they will be settled. That is because they are Kenyans who are entitled to decent living and the protection that the Constitution gives them. They are Kenyans who have suffered in many regions and time has come when we should not wait. I actually have more time on that. Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir."
