    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the Nyanza-Western caucus of Internally Displaced Persons, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, in the aftermath of the contested 2007 General Election, the country witnessed unprecedented post-election violence which among other things caused massive displacement of persons from their settlements. THAT, prior to settling internally displaced persons (IDPs) in camps by the Government, quite a number those who survived the post-election violence atrocities, particularly in hotspots like Naivasha, Eldoret, Kericho, Bahati, Nakuru, and Nairobi fled to their home regions and got hosted by their relatives. They never got compensation and have, therefore, been living under undignified conditions. THAT, in order to ensure that IDPs revert to normal lives as soon as practicable, the Government rolled out a resettlement programme, including Operation Rudi Nyumbani Programme which was intended to facilitate IDPs to go back to their original homes under State protection. THAT, it is in public knowledge that IDPs, particularly those who were in the designated IDP camps were compensated monetarily with amounts ranging from Ksh400,000 and above in addition to allocation of land for settlement. THAT, the Nyanza-Western caucus comprises legitimate IDPs who were registered by various humanitarian organisation, including the Kenya Red Cross and the IDP network.
