    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I acknowledge that this is a matter of great importance. I am of the view that this matter be handled with some urgency because we are alive to the fact that in 2007, there are some communities which were affected. It is sad that certain communities in this country have been resettled, yet other communities have not. We want an audit of those who have been resettled and those who have not been resettled. It is sad, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that in December, 2007, I happened to bump into a group of people who had come to collect Kshs50,000 each at the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB), Kakamega Branch. When I interrogated them, they told me that they had been told to register as IDPs in Lugari and Nautuma area just to get the payment. It is clear that there is a lot of misappropriation and conmanship in the disbursement of these funds to IDP beneficiaries. Therefore it is important that we look into this petition with a lot of seriousness. We know that Kibera was a hotspot and it is important we look into this matter with a lot of seriousness. As a House, we need to interrogate what has been paid so far and which communities have benefitted from the fund. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
