    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in 1975, Robert McNamara, the then World Bank Chief described what is absolute poverty. In his own words, he defined this as people living in conditions so degrading to deny human dignity. The conditions as defined in the IDPs schemes are characterized by very poor feeding regime, shelter, health and lack of privacy. One time, a Member, on the Floor of this House, described the conditions in which these people live. It is so painful for me as the Member for Naivasha, where I have over 60 per cent of the IDPs, who were not displaced within Naivasha, but have come to settle there. I see children die because of pneumonia and people living in worn-out tents. This Committee should move in very fast and persuade the Government, in the most humane and sane way to invoke emergency rules, so that the Ministry of State for Special Programmes headed by Ms. Murugi Mathenge, can have more than the Kshs3 billion that we are talking about. It should have adequate funds not only to settle these"
