Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to add my voice to those who support the visit by the Head of State from Sudan. I am driven by the fact that there are some nations in the

and kill innocent women and children, they go scot free and nobody criticizes them, and they walk very tall. But when any African leader is mentioned in one way or the other, they come out very fast condemning. This is not fair. It is something we must stop and not entertain. America itself has refused to be a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC), because it has realized that it is not good for Americans. Why do they think then that it should be very good for Kenya? This is something we must not agree to and support.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, regarding the census results that were released yesterday, while the Ministry has done a commendable job in announcing the results clearly and very ably, I do not want to agree with the results. It is wanting because---

Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for that guidance. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to continue talking about the census results that were just released yesterday. I do not totally agree with the results we were given here. This is because they have gone ahead and tabled results, for example, for the Boran Community that I come from. The Boran occupy majorly Moyale, Marsabit and Isiolo as you very well know. But the total figure which has been read here â the 161,000 - to this country is appalling. Even those in Nairobi alone are more than ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support Vote D20 of the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. I would like to begin by commending this Ministry and its staff for a job well done. This Ministry is very important yet it has been under-funded for too long. In fact, it is not an under-statement to say that it has been neglected. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at Nairobi for example, the last large project they have done is the Ndakaini Dam. That was in 1989/1990. Today, we complain about lack of water in Nairobi. The last ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)The IDPs in Good Hope Kibunya and Tuinuane Molo Saw Mills have not been resettled due to difficulties in acquiring viable land for resettlement. However, 93 households of the IDPs in Tuinuane Molo Saw Mills (self help group) are scheduled to be settled in Gakonye in Molo and the remaining 84 households will be settled in Asanyo/Kuresoi at the end of August this year. The IDPs in the Good Hope Self-Help Group in Kibunya will be resettled in the farms that are currently being assessed and valued by the Ministry of Lands in ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have just said and I want to repeat that the Government is making all efforts to resettle all the IDPs, in particular, the ones in Molo I have stated that the analysis of viable land is going on at the Ministry of Lands. Immediately this analysis is finished then the resettlement process will commence.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, although the resettlement of IDPs is our responsibility as a Ministry, the business of buying land is for the Ministry of Lands. We are doing it together. I cannot comment on the money set aside for purchasing the land because it is the responsibility of that particular Ministry. However, for all the other requirements, we have made all the necessary arrangements. Should the land be available, the process will commence immediately.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, 6,802 households are being considered for resettlement. Out of this, 798 households have already been resettled. The rest, alongside the ones in Molo and the rest of the country will be resettled accordingly when, as I have just mentioned, the land becomes available.
