• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, at the moment, the number of IDPs is as I have indicated earlier. We have a total of 16,000 and I have broken them down into two groups: We have 7,500 plus who are forest evictees while the post- election violence IDPs are 8,000. You will recall when we closed the registers there were a lot of complaints here and there. We treated each case on its own merit. District Commissioners provided us with extra information, where some information might have been delayed or misplaced. Those are the ones we put on board; otherwise, we ... view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the integrated IDPs, while we were resettling the rest who were in the camps--- Although we did not have enough funds at that time, the good news now is that the Treasury has allocated us more funds and we have allocated enough funds to resettle all the IDPs who were integrated. So, if they are properly registered and are in our custody, then the hon. Member should rest assured that they will all be registered alongside others. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I tell you that all of them will be resettled in the next two months or so, I will be cheating you because challenges keep coming up. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will appreciate the kind of efforts the Government has been putting in this matter, but you know and each one of us appreciates that only a week ago, we were taking a group of IDPs to a particular area and there was serious resistance from the locals. You will appreciate that some of those challenges are the ones which are tying ... view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the intention of the question from the hon. Member for Molo that some Cabinet Ministers, as he has tried to say or, indeed, hon. Members, are resisting resettlement of those IDPs. I have appealed earlier on to the hon. Members, kindly let--- This is a collective process and the IDPs are Kenyans and wherever they have to be settled, please, come on board and let us move together so that we give them decent homes. Otherwise, let me not pinpoint the way the hon. Member wants me to do in the case of ... view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Indeed, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are--- view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for that question. I want to confirm to you today that we are signing an agreement for 9,000 acres of land. I think that will be concluded in the next two weeks. However, according to our program and God willing by June, we will be able to put this matter behind us. view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the forest evictees, the assumption is that they have land where they will go back and resettle. Unfortunately, majority of those evictees happened to have lived in those forests from time immemorial and had nowhere to go. Being considerate of the interests of all Kenyans to live decently in the country, the Government decided that they will get somewhere for them to live. Finally, in a related way, you and hon. Members will appreciate that we have resettled more than 98 per cent of the victims. Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, ... view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware of any families that were evicted by the police from the Eland Down Farm on 23rd November, 2010. (b) Since there were no evicted families, no action is required from the Government at all. view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you recall that towards the end of last year, the hon. Member asked the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security the same Question, which denied any invasion by the police. We rely on information given to us by the District Commissioners (DCs) present on the ground. The information from the said DC is that there are no persons registered as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) therein. The situation is that there is a parcel of land owned by a private person who sold it to African Wildlife Foundation (AWF). This Foundation converted the same parcel ... view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whether those people are IDPs, squatters or otherwise, it is the responsibility of the Government to feed its people. In this particular case, we are not aware of any section of that group which secluded itself, but the Government has provided relief food to people in all parts of the country according to the available resources so that they can share whatever is there. view
