    "content": "election violence, 663,921 individuals were profiled as displaced within the country. At the height of the violence, 350,000 IDPs sought refuge in 118 camps, while 313,921 IDPs were integrated amongst various communities in the country. Given that the IDPs were faced with different situations and needs, the 245,416 IDP households that had been provided were grouped into four main categories. I do not think I need to go into these four main group categories. I have already submitted the copies to the Senator for Nyamira. I would, therefore, go ahead to issues No.2 and 3.

The second part is whether we can confirm that out of the 6,000 households affected by violence in Kisii and Nyamira counties, only a few received ex-gratia payment and none received compensation for the loss of property and homes. I wish to request that I handle the two issues together, given that they are all interrelated. I am aware that IDPs were supposed to be given Kshs10,000 for start-up capital and Kshs25,000 for burnt houses. Countrywide, 170,416 households were paid the Kshs10,000 ex-gratia payments for start-ups while 37,843 households were paid Kshs25,000 for the reconstruction of burnt houses. In Kisii and Nyamira counties, the Ministry disbursed Kshs181,200 to the Deputy County Commissioner---"
