• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my Ministry has not been in existence for the last 17 years, as the hon. Member is saying. However, the Government has been able to allow or provide education and health facilities for the affected IDPs in whichever part of the country, just like the rest of the citizens of this nation. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the food situation generally in the country is bad and, indeed, it is worsening. So, what the hon. Member is saying is true. We are trying to see how we can increase food rations to many parts of the country, that have been hard hit by drought, and not only in Garissa. Equally, the people affected in Garissa, such as the ones he has mentioned, will be catered for adequately. view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Ndungulu IDP camp was closed on 6th January, 2009 and food to the area - it is true as the hon. Member has raised – was delayed for some time but the situation has since been corrected and food has been going to the area regularly. view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: (b) The IDPs whose houses were burnt down have been properly compensated with Kshs25,000 each like all other IDPs in the country, and as to when they will construct their own houses is solely upon the IDPs themselves. view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said there was a delay which was noted and the people concerned were suspended. But since then, for the information of the hon. Member, food is sent to the District Commissioners so that it may be redistributed within the district to all the needy persons, including the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). Hon. Members are members of the committees which are in charge of redistribution of the food in the districts and they should be able to know who should be given priority. But as I have said, the delay was corrected immediately and for the larger ... view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think time and again, hon. Members have raised concerns that it is actually a pity to have IDPs in the camps up to now. But, in fact, as much as I acknowledge that, it is indeed a pity, in the first place to have occasioned situations to call for IDPs in the country. We must appreciate how we began this kind of problems. However, I have been explaining severally that as we embarked on the resettlement of the IDPs across the country, it was overwhelming and we ran out of finances in the latter part of ... view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have funds that cover up to the end of this financial year. So, by the end of this financial year, no single genuine IDP will be left in the camp. view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, what the hon. Member is saying is true and I have raised this issue repeatedly; that there are some IDPs who, even after they are properly paid, they go and relocate elsewhere, pitch their tents and claim that they have not been paid. Of late, whenever we pay anybody, we recover their tents so that they will not be able to claim that they have not been paid and pretend as they have been doing.
