    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you very much also for that guidance because there are those of us who really want to speak to this Motion. I wish to begin by congratulating His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta, for the report that he tabled before this House and the Speech. Indeed, I heard hon. Mbadi, who contributed to this Motion this morning and stated that despite the President having spoken about the issue of resettling IDPs, he has not addressed the issue of equality within the State. He went on to cast aspersions on the integrity of the resettlement process. Indeed, he insinuated that the resettlement process of the IDPs was skewed towards certain communities. I want it to be known to the nation that, indeed, it is not only in those areas that were mentioned, but even in Central Kenya, in my constituency, in Kiambu County and many other areas across the country; there are very many integrated IDPs. Therefore, it was in bad light for hon. Mbadi to insinuate that integrated IDPs are only concentrated in certain areas of this country. We know that, indeed, they are there and the Government is working to resettle them; it will provide for all IDPs. Therefore, the President addressed the question of equality and the resettling of the IDPs. Indeed, it is a step in the right direction. It is something that the former Government, that hon. Mbadi served in, did not address for five years after the post-election violence of 2007/2008. It has taken this Government less than a year. In the first six to seven months of the Jubilee administration, we were able to resettle those IDPs and that process is ongoing."
