    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity. May I say the handling of the predicament of the IDPs has been very unsatisfactory and very discriminatory? All IDPs suffered a similar fate. They were displaced and some of them lost property and others were very unfortunate to lose their loved ones. All of them suffered humiliation but most importantly, they were displaced. Today, we have been told that some of them were paid Kshs400, 000, others were resettled in land allocated by Government and others had houses built for them. In Kisii and Nyamira, some of them were paid only Kshs10, 000. I just want to know what rationale was being applied and I do not think this is a matter we can take lightly. I suggest that we go along the way suggested by the Leader of Minority, get a motion and a select Committee to go and dig into this matter and find a solution which would be satisfactory to the majority of these IDPs. I am aware that those in Kisii and Nyamira have been left as paupers, moving around begging, when we know that they were prosperous at some point in their lives."
