    "content": "I have IDPs in my constituency and we would like to know whether they are accessing education bursaries. Have the committee opened up? What are the difficulties they are faced with? As Members of Parliament, I believe we are trying to do our best. However, it is important that a unified position is taken to look into this issue in a special way. We have the Ministry of State for Special Programmes. The budget that was allocated to that Ministry this year was far much less. Why is that so? It is because the perception within Government circles is that the issues of IDPs have come to an end and we have sorted out all their problems. This is the case and yet we know very well, as Members of Parliament, that that is far from the truth. The IDPs need a lot of help in order for them to resume normal life. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are aware that the Government has done a lot in resettling the IDPs, but we also get worried when we hear that the Ministry of Lands or the Government has allocated some Kshs2 billion or Kshs3 billion that is still held up somewhere. As a result the Ministry has been unable to buy land to resettle the IDPs. It is, therefore, important that this Committee looks into these issues. Why is it that it takes that long to buy land in this country to resettle people?"
