The former Coalition Government had a Ministry of State for Special Programmes. That Ministry’s mission was to deal with the IDPs issue. Part of the mission was to disaggregate data on IDPs. If you have a Ministry which has existed for five years and cannot even tell the nation how many IDPs there were, something is wrong somewhere. But I do know that in a report given to the Cabinet by the Attorney General, sometimes either in 2008 or 2009, the Government had pretty good data on IDPs. Therefore, I would like to inform my friend, G.G. Kariuki, that one of the requirements of his Motion; having a comprehensive and disaggregated data on IDPs, actually exists. So, you will find that if, indeed, there are records in the Government from the Ministry of State for Special Programmes, as it existed then. There should be no doubt whatsoever in the annals of the history of this nation, that the previous Government had data on IDPs. Therefore, we should move expeditiously to deal with this issue. Madam Temporary Speaker, I agree that we have an appropriate President at this point in time to settle the issue of IDPs, because we know that the old Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, when he came out of detention, had hardly five acres of land to his name. But by the time he died, he had the equivalent of a whole province to his name. This was not the result of willing buyer, willing seller. History books and, indeed, the land question in Kenya--- We have the data showing very clearly that land---"
