Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the above analysis, out of the total number of IDPs profiled among the Kisii IDPs, 15,160 have been paid and accounted for while 2,226 IDPs have not been accounted for and, hence, cannot be said to have been paid despite the fact that the money was disbursed to the DCCs for the purpose. However, the Ministry is aware that some of the Kisii people have been complaining and claiming that they were left out of the IDPs compensation exercise. We recall that in April, 2012, the then Minister of Special Programmes, hon. Mirugi, was accompanied by Members of Parliament (MPs), the District Commissioners (DCs) and local leaders who held a meeting in the regional co-ordinator’s office in Kisii with the objective of sorting out the complaints. However, they were unable to resolve the matter and had to send a team of officers to do the vetting of the list that was being presented. What eventually came out of the vetting and verification exercise was that very few cases were genuine. We have given an analysis in Table 4. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, out of the 14,074 names submitted for vetting and verification, only 414 were found to be eligible for consideration. The rest were dubiously attempting to seek recognition through means which we have demonstrated. Only profiling forms for the complainants from Kisii South, Nyamira North and Manga districts were submitted by the DC to the vetting team. No forms from Gucha South and Masaba districts were submitted. The profiling forms submitted were checked and found to have a lot of anomalies, which were as follows: 1. The forms from Kisii South were not the forms used by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics for profiling of the IDPs and they were not fully filled. 2. The forms for Manga District through duplicates of those used in profiling in 2008, were not signed. This was a requirement during the profiling. 3. The forms of Nyamira North District had the following issues. (i) Some had dates indicating that the persons were profiled before June, 2008, whereas the profiling exercise took place between June and August, 2008. (ii) Some of the forms indicated that the persons were profiled in 2012. (ii) Others were not fully filled. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the vetting team recommended the following: 1. That the Government should not entertain any claim by any persons or groups of persons claiming to have been profiled in any way other than those existing in the database. The Government should reject the claims presented after 31st December, 2008, registration deadline by various districts. 2. The Government was to update the records of those paid to ensure that they tally with the existing number in the database. 3. In the absence of any list and supporting profiling forms to prove that the IDPs were profiled within the stipulated period and registers submitted by 31st December, 2008, the Government should reject any further claims from the districts.
