    "content": "As we adjourn, I also urge the Office of the Prime Minister to co-ordinate and supervise the resettlement of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). This has now become a song. In fact, it is becoming a monotony now. We talk about it in political rallies and even in Parliament. It is an important task. No matter what we do, it is a national scar. They may not be in your constituency but it is a national scar. This is the case and yet we have got a Coalition Government which shares power. Sometimes when they disagree they eventually agree on the way forward. There are innocent Kenyans who continue to languish just because we had political skirmishes brought about by disagreements, ethnic fears and ethnic disharmony. However, it is the responsibility of the Office of the President and the Office of the Prime Minister to ensure that this matter is brought to a close. We know we have been given a deadline of June. This deadline needs to be serious. We need a tabulation to be brought to the House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I would like to really plead with all of us starting with myself that the temperatures we are raising in this country because of political disagreements--- What is said in this House is very constructive and very engaging. However, what is said at the lounge is very disengaging, very acrimonious and brings a lot of discord. We are now not caucusing. We have turned the political caucusing into a circus. The political circus is now likely to become a carcass on the grave yard of political history in this country. It is important that we reduce it. I told you that I would be loathe to say that some of the statements we hear from senior leaders, those who are senior to us, are very disengaging. We hear them on television and on radio. We also read them in newspapers. Just because we disagree, it does not mean that I call you very bad names. Remember in the evening children are watching you. I ask myself, what will become of me if I disagree with you? With those few remarks, I beg to support."
