    "content": "i: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I also support the request by the Senator for Murang’a, our Deputy Speaker, just as a follow up to what the Senator for Kakamega has said, which is good and important. When the decision was made to compensate IDPs with monetary value against what they lost in land, it is also true that all the assets that the IDPs lost was not only land. With your permission, I could just give an example of amongst many, one IDP whom I knew personally. He was a resident and a wholesaler in Kakamega. His name was Mr. Stanley Mungai. He was killed in Kakamega and his five lorries burnt. His wife was evicted and now she lives in a “10x 10” room in Rongai. Although such an IDP lost the land they had, they also lost all their life time investment entirely to the extent that somebody who was a wholesaler now is a peasant and a beggar in Rongai Town. As we address this question, how will we consider the true value of the loss of the IDPs as we talk about resettlement and compensation? It is important for this question to be answered in line with the other questions."
