"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to agree with that ruling. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to say that I support this Motion. It is timely. I am sure hon. Members need time-off, so that we can go to our constituencies. I know that even the civil servants will be out of their offices, but I would want the Minister for Lands to use this opportunity to resolve my long standing issue of people who have been waiting for title deeds since 1993. I have done to you about seven letters. Do not allow me to do you another one in the New Year. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as the Minister was talking about Kshs3 billion for Mt. Elgon and others, remember that also in Ndaragwa, we have IDPs and they have been waiting for the resettlement. I want to concur with those who are saying that it is time for us to spend some of our time going out and reaching out to others; not just for the purposes of 2012, but for purposes of bringing the communities together. We have difficulties such as tribal issues. We have also had post-election violence. However, it is upon us, as leaders, to lead in the reconciliation process and make sure that the communities are together; and make sure that people are able to live with one another and allow for political space. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is important that we remain respectful of each other during this time as even we go for Christmas and also get our communities to respect the views of others. We have passed a Constitution that allows us to have different views across this country. Our new Constitution allows space to exercise that which we desire. Let us now try to curtail it in any other way. Let us not try to double speak because we are now too good at it. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
