    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for allowing me to read this Petition on behalf of Nyandarua Integrated IDPs. It is a Petition to the Senate by the Nyandarua Integrated IDPs concerning delays in compensation and occupation of parcels of land both for their settlement between 2010 and 2013. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hereby present a Petition that has been submitted to the Senate by the Nyandarua Integrated IDPs concerning their delayed compensation and occupation of parcels of land both for their settlement between 2010 and 2013. As you are aware, Article 119 (1) of the Constitution states - “Every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including to enact, amend or repeal any legislation.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, the salient issues raised in this Petition are - THAT the petitioners are among victims of the 2007/2008 post-election violence, who were internally displaced after the 2007/2008 post-election violence. After the formation of the Grand Coalition Government, the Ministry of Special Programmes was tasked with the mandate of responding to the plight of the 663,921 IDPs. THAT the IDPs that were in designated camps such as Laikipia, Rumuruti, at Kianjogu, Muruku, Jericho, and Muhu farm were to be compensated monetarily in addition to allocation of land for settlement. THAT, the Kenyan Government through the Ministry of Special Programs acquired parcels of land to settle the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) especially in Laikipia County which has been alienated and grabbed."
