    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the chance to support this Procedural Motion. The issue of IDPs is twofold: There has been emphasis on the IDPs who are in the camps. There are IDPs who have been integrated into their extended family members. In South Mugirango, where I come from, I have more than 2,000 people. The first challenge that was there was that they put a timeline for submission of names. The Provincial Administration (PA) was responsible for submitting the names. However, the PA did not submit the names within the given deadline. Therefore, the 2,000 IDPs who are in my constituency were not included in the list of those who benefited from the Kshs10,000 per family that was paid out. This is in Kisii and other areas where the PA messed up the whole exercise of identifying the IDPs. They cut the timeline and failed to submit the names. So, I believe that the Committee will take this issue seriously. The Committee should investigate these issues to establish the fact that there are IDPs who have not been included in the settlement programme, not because of their mistake but because of mistakes committed by the PA. There are many people who have been left out of the re-settlement programme. They are suffering. Nobody bothers about them. Right now, there is famine. People have no food or water. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we are all aware, there is no land in Kisii. We are much squeezed. So, this is a big challenge which needs to be addressed, so that people can be taken care of. Therefore, I hope that the additional time we are going to give this Committee will enable it to ensure that they visit all the places where there are IDPs, and include them in the re-settlement programme. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
