    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support this Motion as amended with a comment that Kisumu faced the brunt of the post-election violence and as a result, we have a lot of IDPs. However, due to the Luo tradition, the IDPs have not been allowed to just settle in open areas. They have been accommodated by their kins and others. However, the IDPs are still there. So, as much as I agree with the list of the Committee Members, I would have wanted to see one of the Members of Parliament from Kisumu, either East, West or Rural, included in the Committee. Over 87 people were killed with bullets. I was hoping that one of the Members would not take up his position, so that it can be released to one Member from Kisumu. I agree that professionalism must be there. I agree with hon. A. Abdalla that there is no professionalism. This has been run by people who do not understand the professionalism of dealing with things. We have a lot of professionals here. Even in this House, hon. Elmi is one and I am sure, there are others. I am suggesting to the Ministry that we do not need to have people who give part-time solutions to long-time problems. That is why we have had problems before. I ask the Minister to put together a think-tank of professionals."
