    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the extension of the Committee. It is a matter we discussed in the House Business Committee and agreed that there is need to extend the life of this Committee, at least, to ensure that they give us a report and hopefully, we can come up with a generally acceptable definition of who an IDP is. The debate on the IDPs is almost becoming a joke where every Kenyan has a reason to call himself an IDP if there are some benefits to be achieved by being associated with that definition. You have heard even in the course of this discussion that we have had cattle rustling IDPs, GDPs and everyone who has been removed from one street to the next is an IDP. However, we must concentrate on who is the genuine IDP; the person who is actually suffering because of having been displaced by factors beyond their control. I believe that this Committee should come up with that for purposes of coming up with a law that will regulate any future operation of IDPs. So, it is not just a matter of looking at them as the people who should be resettled in my area or in the other area. Can we even work out that that part of the Report of the Committee would be a draft legislation on the whole issue of resolution of internal displacements by whatever means they occur? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
