    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, IDPs are a product of the turbulence that we saw at the end of 2007 and beginning of 2008. The unfortunate events of that time should never be allowed to happen in this country again. I want to take this opportunity to thank all those organizations, members of the international community, our own Government and the various institutions that came to the rescue of this category of our citizens. I also want to take this opportunity to thank the Mover of this Motion because it identifies Parliament with the plight of this category of our citizens. It is important for Parliament to be concerned about the welfare of Kenyans. It is important for Parliament to understand the gravity of the situation so that we can come to grip with it. I also want to take this opportunity to thank the Government, in particular the Ministry of State for Special Programmes, because I know through that Ministry a number of initiatives have been taken and considerable relief has been provided to IDPs. I am also aware that quite a large number of them have been enabled to settle. However, I think with the establishment of this Committee we will know exactly who were displaced and who the proper IDPs are."
