    "content": "The Committee made the following observations: (1) The Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government on its submissions stated that the Government recognized the existence of integrated Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) among them the Kibra IDPs and they were, therefore, profiled. Consequently, the names of those integrated IDPs beneficiaries were prepared with the assistance of IDPs Network through a wide consultation with their leadership which culminated into two forums held at Nuru Palace Hotel in Nakuru in March, 2017. (2) The integrated IDPs were taken through various stages of eligibility vetting through this exercise. A total of 83, 891 IDPs were eligible for consideration on payment of Kshs50,000 to each household as per the available budget whereby the following IDPs from Kibra benefited. Those paid Kshs10,000 were 471 beneficiaries. Those paid Kshs50,000 were 692 beneficiaries. The Committee noted with concerns that the amounts given out as compensation were inadequate given that affected not only lost livelihood, but some also lost lives. (3) The Prevention, Protection and Assistance to IDPs and affected Communities Act No.56 of 2012 established a Committee to be known as National Consultative Coordination Committee (NCCC) on IDPs under Section 12. The term of the NCCC on IDPs expired in 2017. (4) The Committee established that the Ministry of Interior and National Coordination has not gazetted a new NCCC on IDPs. Therefore, there was no budget set aside for the said committee.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee makes the following recommendations- (1) The Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government gazettes a new NCCC on the IDPs.
