    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware of the 200 families that were displaced by floods in various rivers in Rongai in January, 2010 and are currently camping at Athinai. The Government has been intervening by providing tents and humanitarian assistance, that is, food and tents. However, the Government does not compensate people for disasters. (b)The resettlement of squatters is under the Ministry of Lands through the Settlement Fund Trustee Scheme. As such, they cannot be considered under the IDP Resettlement Programme. My Ministry will, however, continue to provide the required humanitarian assistance. (c)The Kenya Red Cross Society provided tents in 2010. Since these people are still in the camps, we are still providing the families with food. As of last week, we provided them with tarpaulins."
