    "content": "needs redistribution if we have to resettle IDPs. But at the same time, I do accept that we cannot alter history. Revisionism died with Hitler in terms of altering history and facts that exist. Madam Temporary Speaker, having said that, let me add that if you look at the pattern of land distribution--- If you are going to recommend to the Government that the IDPs should be resettled, help the Government by telling it where you can resettle these IDPs. Also find out why it is that over the last five years there have been difficulties to resettle these IDPs. This Senate should be in a position to think critically. We cannot reduce ourselves to singing like parrots. I remember during the Nyayo regime, Kenyans were asked to sing like parrots. You had to sing what the President sang. That is what we rose up against in 1992, when we fought for multipartism. We did it at a high cost. Several decades later, I cannot stand in this Senate with a clear conscience and be preached to that I must sing like a parrot. That is not why we brought multipartism. Madam Temporary Speaker, in order to deal with the issue of IDPs, please, confront the issue of land ownership, redistribution and reforms. This is because these IDPs have resettled somewhere. I have done a lot of research on land ownership in this country and know the history of how these IDPs came about. It is not out of the context of that history. You have to look at it in terms of the context of that history. One of the reasons the Rift Valley has been a theatre of conflict every elections since 1963, is because of the issue of land. Your cousins who were taken to be settled in the Rift Valley---"
