    "content": "Administration and National Security concerning the resettlement of Internally Displaced persons (IDPs) in the country, particularly in Teltet, Trans-Nzoia County. Hon. Speaker, it is unclear whether the Government is according due consideration to key aspects affecting the resettlement process such as recognition of two categories of IDPs; those from the post-election violence (PEV) and the forest evictees and the appropriate method and process for resettling and compensating the IDPs. Hon. Speaker, in view of the recent enactment of the Prevention, Protection and Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons and Affected Communities Act, 2013, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on how the Government arrived on the total number of IDPs. Two, why the Government is compensating the IDPs by way of monetary compensation vis-a-vis the allocation of land. Three, whether the Government has complied with Section 9(3) of the Act which prescribes the procedure for resettlement of IDPs and state the expected timeline for the closure of all IDP camps. Four, whether the Government has facilitated consultation with the IDPs, as provided in Section 9(4) of the Act, including the establishment of the National Consultation and Co- ordination Committee, as provided for in Section 12. Five, the criterion that is currently being used by the Government to identify IDPs and the measures put in place to ensure that compensation is not diverted. Six, the role of the area Members of Parliament in the resettlement process. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
