    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Statement that had been sought by the Senate Minority Leader was supplementary information. The Statement was issued shortly before we left for the short recess. It has been available since last week. The supplementary issues that had been raised were available since last week. I shared a copy of the Statement with the Senate Minority Leader. We have also discussed and with your permission, I can highlight the key issues instead of reading the statement word for word. This is because we have discussed the crux of the information. The first issue which had been raised was how much the Government spent in toto in resettlement and compensation of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) throughout the country. On the first page of the Statement, there is a breakdown of the various programmes and how much money has been spent. The programmes include “ HameniRudi Nyumbani”, The Uganda Returnees Programme, Integrated IDPs Startup Capital and Land Resettlement Capital. There are also cash payments in various phases with a total of Kshs17.6 billion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the second important issue is how the monies were paid per county. There was a request for further information on breakdown per county. Pages two and three of the Statement give the breakdown per county in various phases. Thirdly, the issue which had been raised was on the full list of the integrated IDPs countrywide and their distribution per county. The Ministry has given us the breakdown in terms of households and not the individual IDPs. They are approximately 75 000 households and it shows a breakdown per county. The list is on pages four and five. The integrated IDPs are spread in 45 out of the 47 counties of Kenya. Literally, it is the entire country. The respective households per counties are provided. It includes the Tharaka- Nithi County. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other issue is on what happened to the property of the IDPs who never went back. The Government does not have that information but has been encouraging the IDPs who might have been deprived of their property to provide information. Such information is not available at the moment. Therefore, the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
