    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Leader of Majority for handling this matter well and also to thank you for postponing it to give us time to look at it. As he goes to do it, I remember when this issue came, I asked one thing: What is the definition of an IDP? I did not get an answer. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is a person who was displaced and went back to his land and is now settled still an IDP? There are people who were squatters somewhere and they were also displaced. They did not have land but they were displaced from their place of residence. Are these also IDPs? I also asked, since the Government is committed to tackling the issue of IDPs, could it go further and look at historical IDPs? There are those communities which were completely dispossessed by the colonialists and they are still landless. Those are the original IDPs. Could we start from where the rain started beating us? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are those IDPs who were displaced to foreign lands like Tanzania and Uganda and are considered as foreigners there. I heard that there are some of them who came back from Uganda. Have we profiled them and ensured that they are also treated equally like other IDPs? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
