    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me a chance to seek a clarification. First, I want to state for the record that the handling of this matter by the Government and its agents particularly in Kisii and Nyamira counties has been very poor leaving many people dissatisfied. Why did the Government find it necessary to classify IDPs into several categories despite the fact that all of them suffered a similar fate namely; they were tortured, humiliated and displaced from their homes and residences? Is the Chair aware that this categorization has led to different levels of compensation resulting in some IDPs being paid less than others and consequently feeling discriminated against? I also want to seek a clarification from the Chair in respect to what he has said in this answer, particularly as relates to Kisii and Nyamira counties. He has stated that an amount of Kshs181,200,000 was paid as start-up capital and another Kshs800,025,000 for construction of burnt houses. Of this amount, Kshs22,260,000 plus a further Kshs55 million has not been accounted for by the DCC. Is the Government aware that the intended beneficiaries of the funds which have not been accounted for are still homeless and suffering, seven years after they were displaced from their farms and businesses? Is he also aware that these groups of Kenyans now feel that the Government is not sensitive to their plight? What action is the Government taking urgently to address the predicament of this group of Kenyans?"
