• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a written answer here, which states clearly what I am telling you. But for the information of the hon. Member, it is unfortunate that, that answer was given and we had to look at it again. We had to rectify it accordingly, and submit what the current position is. We are sorry in case some information which was not properly looked into reached some offices. view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have just said that we have not been given any information of any IDPs from 1992 and 1997 tribal clashes, but should there be some, as the case appears to be, where Mr. Kioni comes from--- Should there be any IDPs as a result of 1992 and 1997 tribal clashes, we should be given this information and we will deal with the cases on merit. But I also want to alert you, and this House, that since we had these tribal clashes during the 2007 General Elections, and the Government has been making an effort ... view
• 24 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that there are any IDPs in Naivasha who are living under inhuman conditions. To the contrary, I am aware that the IDPs in Naivasha are fully catered for. We give them food every one month. Only last week, we issued them with enough food which will be replenished when the stated period lapses. Sanitation in the IDP camps is taken care of by the Ministry of Health. Security in IDP camps is provided by the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. We have facilitated those ... view
• 24 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not need to travel to Naivasha to give the hon. Member an adequate answer. As we are speaking now, the last batch of IDPs in Naivasha is being attended to. The necessary facilitation is being carried out. We had four camps in Naivasha for the purposes of this Question, and three of them have been closed effectively. We had one at Kedong where we had 2,300 people. They willingly went back to their homes. We had a camp at Kiambogo which was closed because there was co-operation from the IDPs and the necessary support from ... view
• 24 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are not aware of any other IDPs who are not registered and who are scattered all over in Laikipia. Should there be any that the hon. Member is aware of, he knows the procedure. We have the Provincial Administration on the ground. They need to go and register with the relevant authorities and let the same be brought to our attention. They will be attended to. view
• 24 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as far as the resettlement process is concerned, we do not have any problem. The issue in the newspapers refers to some demonstrations that took place in Naivasha against the issue of paying for medical services. I am aware of that issue. They were being asked to pay some money. We have spoken to the hospital. Since then, the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who are registered and have been issued with registration cards by the Red Cross, are being treated free of charge. That matter has been sorted out. It is also true that we have limited ... view
• 24 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member was listening carefully, I mentioned that three camps in Naivasha, have been closed down. Currently, there is only one IDP camp at Naivasha stadium. However, we are finalising the process of its closure. At that camp, we have 1,655 people. With regard to the breakdown of the food quantities, every family has been given enough food to last them for a month. That exercise was concluded two weeks ago. My Minister, Dr. Shaban, visited the area three days ago. I have informed the hon. Member very clearly that the matter in Naivasha is ... view
• 24 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, the figure of Kshs10,000 is the amount of money we can afford at the moment. That is being given to all the IDPs, regardless of whether they are in Naivasha or in other parts of the country. That figure is uniform. We would have wished to give them enough money to ensure that they are back to their normal businesses, but it is not possible. This is a small token to enable them to undertake small activities when they go back home. We will continue feeding them until they get their next harvest. MEASURES TO SAVE ... view
• 24 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware, at all, that there are 397 families of the Ogiek community who were displaced in Eldoret South from 1997. (b) Since the Ministry is not aware, there are no urgent measures that it has taken to sort out the problem the hon. Member is claiming exists. view
• 24 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, actually this is very saddening. I am not aware as I have said. If the hon. Member is aware, she should let us know who evicted them. I have said that should there be any member of her community, or constituency, who is, for one reason or another, displaced, they should be registered with the relevant authorities. It has not come to our notice, but she is implying that there are people who were evicted from there. If indeed they were, then she should hold the relevant Ministry responsible and ask it to give them alternative land. ... view
