    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me address hon. Gumbo’s issue because I think we are still talking about integrated IDPs. We have two sets of IDPs. There were IDPs in camps; that is, those who moved and stayed together in a camp. Then there are those people who went and stayed with their relatives or migrated elsewhere. Those are the Integrated IDPs. The Government decided to first deal with those one in camps. They are the ones the Government has been trying to compensate by way of buying land or currently paying them KShs400,000. That is what the Government has been doing. Those integrated IDPs, the ones who were profiled first, were given Kshs10,000. They moved out and went to be integrated. We still have a backlog of more than 62,000 pending. The matter of Integrated IDPs, if we open history, they could be in their millions. That is because people moved and stayed with others elsewhere. If we were to start talking of Integrated IDPs, then we will also go back to that question: Where did you come from? Where is that piece of land of yours? You are the same people who are asking, “Can they show us where they came from?” So, the matter of Integrated IDPs is quite strange and the Government is alive to the matter. The Government is looking for funds. If this House can give us good funds, we already have a profile of more than 62,000 families. If this House, during the budget- making process, allow the Government to compensate them at a figure that we can agree and then avail the funds, I think that would be the best way to go."
