    "content": "Furthermore, it is also shameful to be discussing issues regarding IDPs. Retired President Mwai Kibaki and retired Prime Minister Raila Amollo Odinga agreed on the National Accord in Parliament. The National Accord was developed and adopted by this House. People who were internally displaced during the post-election violence were supposed to go back to their land. What are we doing with issues of IDPs? Did they come from the air? Where did they come from? How long shall we take to solve the issue of IDPs? We know squatters are landless people. We know where squatters come from. They were not settled. There are IDPs because of post- election violence. We know where they come from. In Lugari, we identified them. We used the National Accord to create cohesive mood and resettled them back in their land. Lugari is a cosmopolitan constituency. We have all tribes in Lugari, namely, Kikuyu, Kamba, Meru, Luhya and Kalenjin, but we are living in harmony. Which part of the country still has issues of IDPs when we have peace in the country? Why can they not use another accord that is existing between President Uhuru and the people’s president, Raila Amollo Odinga, to sort out this issue once and for all? The National Accord means Kenyans coexist. If I have land in Narok, I will stay in Narok. If I have land in Kirinyaga, I will stay in Kirinyaga. I am a Kenyan and I have a right to stay anywhere in this country. I wonder why in this day and age we are still talking about issues of resettling IDPs. We have to be serious. There is a recommendation here that the records of purchasing of IDP land using loans is set to expire in 2022. We are talking about 2022. We are still pushing IDPs’ issues further to 2022. Are we serious? Why can we not ask the IDPs to go back to their land and we will provide peace? Why can we not ask them to go back to their land and be part of the people who are participating in the national development of this country because cohesiveness exists?"
