    "content": "With regard to the issue of how many IDPs from Migori County have been paid, Migori in particular had 760 integrated IDPs households who were each paid Kshs10,000 start-up capital and has another 127 integrated households who are yet to be assisted. No IDP camp existed in Migori County. Therefore, none can be included in the current list. However, the county will be covered in the on-going profiling of the integrated IDPs. Next is the issue of whether the registered integrated IDPs in Murang’a County have been paid, who has been paid, how much money, the fate of the land that was owned by the people of Murang’a who are now integrated IDPs and whether they can go back to their land. Annexed to this statement is a list of IDPs in Murang’a who are integrated, those that were paid and the amounts and also those that have not been paid. Further, I wish to state that the land which was once owned by the integrated IDPs still belongs to them. The owners are free to return to their farms whenever they feel safe. The Government will facilitate their return through the Rudi Nyumbani Programme. If they cannot return because they feel threatened, the Government is ready to provide security to ensure their safety. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the last paragraph is in Kiswahili and I need your guidance because it was asked in Kiswahili. Swali lilikuwa; kama wakimbizi wa ndani waliokimbia kutoka Tana River miaka 13 iliyopita wakati wa vita walishughulikiwa, pahali waliko kwa sasa na mbinu za kuwarejesha au kuwapa makao. Wizara haina habari kuhusu hao wakimbizi wa ndani wa miaka hiyo kutoka Tana River. Hatujapata habari yoyote kutoka kwa wakuu wa kaunti wala waathiriwa wenyewe kwamba wanahitaji msaada wetu. Hata hivyo, kama vile nilivyosema hapo awali, Mkuu wa Sheria ametoa mwongozo wa kisheria kuhusu wanaotakikana kushughulikiwa chini ya Sheria ya Wakimbizi ya Mwaka 2012. Watakaoshughulikiwa ni wale walioathiriwa miaka ya 2007/2008 na baadaye. Kwa hivyo, kikundi cha wakimbizi hao hakitahudumiwa kulingana na mwongozo uliotolewa. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this statement is signed by hon. Mwangi Kiunjuri, the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and Planning. For the benefit of the distinguished Senator for Bungoma who had asked this question, the CS’s foreword – because he was also following the proceedings – assures this House that he will remain enthusiastic and ready to engage the Senate. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I now beg to lay this Statement and the annexure on the Table of the Senate. Sorry I have taken a lot of time."
