    "content": "all paid Kshs400,000, though we know that there were a few fake people on the list. I said that the clean-up is still on-going. About the integrated IDPs, the Government because of funds--- I want to say that we have IDPs who have been there since time immemorial. Some hon. Member is talking of 1971/1972; 1991/1992 et cetera . It was only until 2008 when the former President, hon. Kibaki, said he was going to work on how to resettle IDPs. Before then, nobody used to talk about the IDPs. Therefore, I know there are so many people, and that is why you find so many people saying there was discrimination. The ones who remained in the camps, were paid Kshs400,000 but those who went and integrated with their families were paid only Kshs10,000. This is because until when the former President said that IDPs were going to be paid, we did not have many camps. But immediately people heard that they were going to be paid, they came in and started camps. That is where the big problem started. But if there was no promise of compensation, I do not think we would be having this problem of people in camps. They will be integrated somewhere somehow like the ones of in 1971, 1992 and 1997. We never saw camps up and until the year 2008.That was when the Government decided to compensate those in camps so as to clear of camps. But the people who went to live with their relatives, the Government never took note of them. But soon they were told to profile themselves; they did that and the Government has tried to pay them Kshs10,000 each family. The fund is still inadequate, but I hope the Jubilee Government is going to look for more funds and pay them. Hon. Mulu asked whether we are making sure that those who were given Kshs400,000 bought land. In respect of those who were given Kshs400,000 to buy land, I would like to clarify that we gave out the money out of their own volition. They wanted money rather than land. As I said earlier on, getting land is a challenge. You cannot get land currently. When you get the land, the prices are hiked."
