Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister clarify? The question that has been asked is on integrated IDPs. The facts we got from Government Ministries speak for themselves. There is a very clear ethnic discrimination in the settlement of IDPs. We will be providing a report which shows that, so that we do not go back to 2007. What is the Minister doing to deal with the issue of ethnic discrimination? For example, in Rongai, we found that camps with Kalenjin, Kisiis and Luos were receiving very different treatment from a camp that had Kikuyus. The camp with Kikuyus had already ...

We have extremely rich and extremely poor people. I think we ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think I just heard the Assistant Minister say that if the teacher was beaten, she is a female.

Order, Mr. Assistant Minister! I think you need to address yourself to the issue of whether their trips are relevant. The rest is a matter of your opinion. However, when you talk about asking irrelevant questions, you are bringing the name of the House into disrepute. So, I order that as far as the issue of irrelevance goes, you need to withdraw!
