    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the extension for this Committee. As said by the Chairman, within the next three months, I believe they should be able to visit all the constituencies and regions that they are yet to visit including Elgeyo Marakwet County where we have a number of integrated IDPs and GDPs. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you are aware, there are a number of IDPs who have been resettled by the Government. I want to tell this Committee that within the three months they should be able to visit Rongai and Trans Nzoia to ascertain whether the people who have been resettled are genuine IDPs or whether we have brokers in those farms. Secondly, as you are aware, there is another Committee here, that is the Parliamentary Caucus on the Resettlement of IDPs which is being chaired by Mr. Lessonet. I want to urge the Chairman of this Committee that within those three months they should be able to harmonize their findings with the ones for the Parliamentary Caucus on the Resettlement of IDPs because I believe they are doing almost the same task. My concern is that the Budget is being presented today and three months from now will be August this year. I wonder whether the issues or the findings that this Committee will raise will be taken care of by the Treasury. This is because at the end of the day, whatever their findings, we need money to settle the IDPs. Finally, we have a number of schools in camps. We have schools in Mau and Embobut forests. I ask this Committee to push the Government to support these schools which lack staff and food and a number of students are suffering. I urge this Committee to push the Government to support the schools within these camps. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
