    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, now I can request for my Statement from the Chair of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations, with regard to the status of IDPs in Nyandarua County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a consequence of the 2007/2008 post election violence, many internally displaced persons, commonly referred to as IDPs took refuge in Nyandarua County from various trouble spots around the country. Many of the IDPs have been in various camps spread around the county waiting for help. Others were integrated into the community in one way or the other. For example, distant relatives or sympathetic well- wishers afforded the refugee family a corner of their shamba to pitch a tent. This category was simply referred to as integrated IDPs. The IDPs in camps have by and large been settled or assisted to settle by the Government. But the integrated IDPs appear to have been forgotten. They have been crying out to the Government to settle them like every other IDP, but to no avail. Mr. Speaker, Sir, they were greatly alarmed when the Government made an announcement recently to the effect that the IDP settlement programme had been completed and concluded. Could the Government, therefore, state:- (a) The number of integrated IDPs there were in Nyandarua County as per the Government records at the end of 2008. For the benefit of the Chair concerned, 2008 is when the Government did a census of the IDPs. (b) How many of those integrated IDPs have been settled to date? (c) The remainder who are yet to be settled or their cases addressed and what the Government intends to do about them. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
