    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to present a petition on behalf of IDPs who were affected in 1992 and 1997 and have been waiting for a long time for resettlement and compensation. The Government has already undertaken that by 30th December, this year, it will have completed the resettlement and compensation of the IDPs affected in the post election violence of 2008. It is our prayer that this will be done and that our fellow Kenyans affected will not spend a night in the cold this Christmas. However, for the IDPs affected earlier than 2008, the Government has, time and again, indicated plans to resettle them but this has not been effected to date. I have with me a petition signed by 4,388 Kenyans affected and who are praying that the Government, after completion of resettlement of the 2008 IDPs, will then commence the resettlement and compensation of the 1992 and 1997 IDPs. These are families that have been affected. They have been displaced for a period of close to 18 years. These families have been broken due to problems of lack of settlement and have fallen into crime and prostitution. They are praying that after the resettlement of the recent IDPs, they too will be remembered, resettled and compensated. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to present this petition and lay it on the Table."
