    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to seek clarifications on two issues. Firstly, in my view, just like the other hon. Members has said, the resettlement of IDPs looks a bit discriminatory. Many parts of the country witnessed displacement in big numbers. But it is like the resettlement exercise is only focussing on post-election violence IDPs. The problem of IDPs in Kenya is not just as a result of the post-election violence. Displacement of people happens almost daily due to drought and inter-community fighting. I want the Vice-Chairman to clarify what plans the Government has to assist the people who were displaced from a place called Swiyan and Uwasorongai in Samburu County. We also have a number of evictees from Kirisia Forest. What will happen to those people? We have witnessed resettlement of people who were evicted from the Aberdares Forest in Kieni Constituency. People who were evicted from Mau Forest were also resettled. Even people who were evicted from Mount Elgon, in an area in Marakwet West, have been resettled. However, we have not witnessed any resettlement in other parts of the country and yet, there are displaced persons in many other parts of the country, just like those who have been resettled."
