    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Procedural Motion moved by our very able Chairman of the Committee. I want to confirm to the House that this is a very serious Committee with a very able Chairman. I want to confirm further that we have put ourselves in sub-committees of four. So, when you see three hon. Members out of four, it is a full house. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to urge my colleague Members of Parliament that when we are coming to your areas please try to be available because your input is very key; the participation of hon. Members is very important. As a Committee we would like to ensure that we give this House the best recommendations ever on the way forward especially on ensuring that there will be no more displacements in this country again. I want to state here that the Committee would wish to visit as many parts of this country as much as possible so that we have a very comprehensive report and that is why we are asking for the extension. I urge the Government that this extension of three months does not mean that we want the IDPs to still continue staying in the camps. We want the Government to continue with its effort of resettling IDPs and closing the IDP camps. The Government should buy land or give them money so that these people do not continue suffering in IDP camps. This House must have a lasting solution to the problem of IDPs, whether they are victims of post election violence, forest evictees, displace by floods or they are integrated IDPs displaced by cattle rustling, among other factors. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
