    "content": "Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the country, particularly in Teldet in Trans Nzoia County. The Member specifically wanted to know the following issues; how the Government arrived at the total number of IDPs; how the Government is compensating the IDPs by way of monetary compensation, that is payment of money; whether the Government has complied with Section 9 (3) of the Act, which prescribes the procedure for resettlement of IDPs and the expected timelines for closure of all IDP camps; whether the Government has facilitated consultation of IDPs provided for in Section 9 (4) of the Act, including the establishment of the National Consultative Co-ordination Committee as prescribed in Section 12; the criteria that is currently being used by the Government, to identify the IDPs and measures in place to ensure that compensation is not diverted and the role of all Members of Parliament in the resettlement of IDPs. The matter of IDPs is domiciled in the Ministry of Devolution and Planning, a Ministry which is under the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. This, therefore, called for redirection of the Statement from the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security to the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade for a response. The Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade invited the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and Planning and the hon. Wafula to its meeting that was held on the 29th October 2013 to deliberate on the matter. Arising from the said meeting I wish to respond as follows. One, the process of resettlement of IDPs has been a complex exercise that has required multiple strategies based on the uniqueness of different situations. As an ongoing process over the years, different approaches have been adopted and we benefited from lessons learnt. This can be categorized into the following broad categories."
