    "content": "benefit the citizens now and not 10 or 15 years from now. For instance, very sadly, we have over 1,000 modern housing units, one and two bedroom apartments, that have not been occupied over the last 16 months. They were built under the Slum Upgrading Project under the retired President Kibaki and former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga. We need to move with speed. It has been three years and the citizens are not benefiting. Item 198 notes that the Ministry of Devolution and Planning was involved in the settlement of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). I regret to note that there is still a big number of IDPs in Nairobi whose interests were not taken in that programme. We recently met with the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) victims who also, in light of issues such as these, need to be compensated. A reparation fund of Kshs10 billion that the President talked about needs to be activated in a manner that the victims of historical injustices in this country can seek help. I am thinking of people who were tortured, women who were raped and victims of similar crimes, but not just on land issues. That is an important point to wrap up."
