    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the request for extension of the period for the Select Committee by three months, basically because it seems that the Committee has not finalised its work. We know of so many IDPs who have not been visited by this Committee. Those IDPs require profiling and being listened to. A number of them, particularly the over 12,000 IDPs in Turkana, have received very minimal support from the Government. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you realise that the IDPs we have in this country are of various categories. They are not only post-election violence IDPs. We have several thousand cattle rustling IDPs, who have never been factored into the re-settlement programme. Their displacement has been caused by internal conflicts. I would like this Committee to look at the cattle rustling IDPs, whom individual Members of Parliament, and their kin, are struggling to resettle, but in respect of whom the Government and this House have not cared. Just like many other reports that have been tabled and adopted by this House by Select Committees, let me hope after the three months the Report by this Committee will not be put on the shelves to gather dust. What happened to the Committee on Implementation? This is because we passed and adopted a Report for Cattle Rustling here but nothing has been done by the Executive. The Committee on Implementation has not taken the Executive and many other committees to task. We will need to re-look into the Committee on Implementation to see that it does its job and make sure that we in the Executive actually implement the resolutions of this House. With those few remarks, I support."
