    "content": "We appreciate that the Government is resettling the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) but my concern is that the Government seems to be focusing on those people who were displaced as a result of the post-election violence and those who had been evicted from Mau Forest and other forests like Embobut in Elgeyo Marakwet and forgetting our people who were also displaced as a result of inter-community conflicts like what happened in Laikipia. Because of their culture, some of these people like the Pokots and Samburus do not stay in the camps but they regroup and go to other areas or even near their own communities and set up large villages for their own protection. I think it is important that the Government resettles IDPs because Kshs4.4 billion has been allocated for resettling and all that we need is for the Government to ensure that these people go back to their farms. So, we just hope that the Government will see to it that people who were displaced from Laikipia go back to their farms."
