    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, some of our brothers and sisters who were displaced from their homes during the post-election violence and the need to initiate conservation of our water towers, especially around Mau, have continued to suffer. This situation must be brought to a closure to enable the remaining genuinely displaced persons to be settled and in order to enable them to live in a dignified manner. It is worth noting that so far, a lot of money amounting to approximately Kshs9.8 billion has already been provided in the past, to sort out this problem. But implementation has been wanting. To implement the final phase of the IDP resettlement programme under an appropriate framework to be developed by the Government, we have allocated Kshs4.2 billion, bringing the total spent on IDP resettlement to Kshs14 billion, which we expect to complete not just on resettlement of IDPs but those too, who need to be resettled from among those evicted from the Mau. I expect that the Ministries concerned will involve local communities, civil society organizations with experience in this matter, and indeed, some of our development partners in this final phase to allow for closure of this issue once and for all."
