    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Senate Majority Leader should seek for an opportunity to give information on a point of information. The people I know are genuine IDPs are the Nubians in Kibra. Anyone else who leaves his or her home and migrates to this beautiful Nairobi City to look for a job takes advantage of any skirmishes in this country. This Petition is timely because it gives us an opportunity to identify who a genuine IDP is. If we talk about the Maasais from Baringo who were displaced from their home area, then we can justify that those are genuine IDPs because people were kicked out from their area in Makutano. It is important for us to ensure that people in this country do not take any opportunity to make money. We should endeavour to help Kenyans and especially young people to have a future. That is why I keep on saying that the best thing for this House to do is to commit its time to fight for devolution. If we stop rural-urban migration and if we devolve more funds to rural areas, we will solve the problem. In supporting this Petition, I encourage the committee that will be tasked to look at the matter to go and identify who the real IDPs are. They can do so by looking at the identification cards. If you were born in Olombogishi in Narok, you have no business claiming that you are an IDP."
