    "content": "The Member for Rarieda raised a very fundamental issue, but that is a specific issue which is not connected to the food prices that I was talking about. However, I want to assure the hon. Member that those people who are involved in graft are going to be prosecuted. There are people who are involved in cheating the Government, as he has mentioned. The report was prepared by the Efficiency Monitoring Unit (EMU), which is housed in my office. Action will be taken against those officers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member for Mathioya was concerned about the resettlement of the IDPs. I think the House needs to discuss this matter because you will have seen that this resettlement scheme has run against a lot of resistance in different parts of the country. You have seen this in Lamu, Taita Taveta, Narok, Endebess and other parts of the country. It is an issue that requires to be discussed as a matter of national importance, so that an agreement is found on it. There is also a school that is gaining currency that the IDPs need to go back to where they came from. That is also another issue which is hanging. So, we, as a Government, are resolved to try to fund a bond for these people and to use public money to buy land. The Government has very little option, if, once it has acquired land, then there is resistance by the local community against the resettlement of these people in those lands."
