• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: In this regard, partner agencies have constructed 20,235 houses in various parts of the country as shown on the table. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, intervention number three, when we realized that the land bought by those who had been resettled is congested and they are living in deplorable condition, the Government decided to buy each one of this self help groups, who have decided to help themselves, two and a quarter acres of land each for the 7,328 households. The houses are constructed on a quarter piece of acre and the rest are for their farming, so that they will be able to attain better livelihoods and can go back to normal life as before. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, intervention number four is that the Government is in the process of constructing houses for IDPs in the larger Turkana. The Government, through my Ministry, has arranged to resettle the profiled forest evictees. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Finally, in conjunction with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Government is organizing to bring back the IDPs who migrated to Uganda for safety at the peak of the violence of which 159 have already returned to the country. The remaining 421 IDPs are in the process of being encouraged to return to the country. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the hon. Member’s concern. However, as she may realise from the list given, the answer was generally about IDPs in the country and there was no specific reference to Kikopey. For Kikopey, they may have already been dealt with and are, therefore, not in the current camps. However, there are other emerging IDPs who were not originally in the camps. They are, possibly, in the process of coming up, but I am not aware of them. Otherwise, I will have to go back and specifically check. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, I am sorry about this. I have just perused the list and maybe she did not do enough justice to the list. If she checks carefully on page 4, Kikopey in Gilgil is very well documented. We have a camp at a place called Ebenezer with 165 households and another one with 107 members in Kikopey, Gilgil. So, I refer her to page four of the answer. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that concern. I strongly believe that hon. Members must also really appreciate what the Government is doing. We must all recall that we had over 350,000 IDPs in various camps in the country. We are not yet done with the initial group where IDPs in Turkana fall. However, we are in the process of resettling all the IDPs and ensure they are given proper shelters. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not sure whether I am supposed to respond to that. I am not too sure that, that qualifies to be a point of order. As a Coalition Government, I am not aware that we are not supposed to appreciate any good thing that has been done by anybody. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, the hon. Member must realize that I am not the one building any of these houses he is referring to. Nevertheless, possibly, my colleagues got irritated by the word “must.” I simply wanted to really bring forward the fact that we are doing a lot. It is only that this issue of IDPs is really overwhelming us. The Government has made a lot of efforts. However, all the remaining IDPs in the camps will be resettled. We have a lot of challenges which we should all appreciate. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for those who are yet to receive the Kshs10,000 start-up capital, I assure them that everybody will receive it so long as he or she is properly profiled and registered in our custody. Those one will be compensated. As far as the self help groups that the hon. Member has referred to are concerned, if he listened to part “b” of my answer, I indicated that the groups which were initially compensated with the Kshs10,000 and they went and bought themselves some land, the Government has decided to help them by allocating them two and a ... view
