• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I apologise to the House for coming late. It was actually not of my making. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Minister is aware of one IDP camp situated at Kanam Kamele with approximately 1,800 persons. In Turkana South, there are a number of IDP camps with approximately 977 households. All persons access basic services, including health services, at Lodwar, Lokichar Health Centre, Kainuk and Lokoli dispensaries. As far as starvation is concerned, we are not aware of anybody going without food. In May alone, we have distributed 9,000 bags of maize ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it, indeed, saddens me when an hon. Member says that he does not know what we are talking about. I am in charge of that Ministry. For your information, I know what I am talking about. What I am telling you is the truth and nothing but the truth. That is for your information. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: As far as your Question with regard to what amount of food we will send is concerned, we have a programme being run all over the country for all the IDPs. Food is of necessity because of the drought that has prevailed in the country. I have just enumerated the amount of food we have already given for the month of May alone. That process is still going on. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to answer the hon. Member by saying that we are, indeed, aware of some cases where people have not been registered as IDPs and yet they are IDPs in certain places. For your information, profiling exercise is still going on. It is still not complete. Food is sent to the District Commissioners alongside the rest of the items. It is the District Steering Group, which the hon. Member is a member, that is supposed to assess which areas need more and which IDPs have not been catered for. Since they are on the ground ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I had earlier said, the case of Turkana is among others which we are still profiling. The District Commissioner is supposed to give us documented numbers to confirm the scanty information we already have. As I had said earlier, the food--- view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I answered that Question earlier. I addressed the educational needs of our children across the country. We have managed to put up schools in places like Naivasha and Nakuru to cater for IDP children where their population does not allow them to go to other schools. However, in cases such as Lodwar, instructions have been given to all the school heads across the country to admit all children so that none of our children will lack education. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one is not only classified as an IDP as a result of post election violence. If, indeed, you are displaced, for whatever reason, then as I said, one becomes an IDP. The profiling exercise is still going on. The DCs have been instructed to furnish our offices with adequate information so that all Kenyans are treated equally, decently, and resettled. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. 1574 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 2, 2008 (a) I am aware that aside from those living in known or designated camps, there are thousands of other persons displaced by the recent post-election violence, especially in Nyanza and Western Provinces, around 1,500, of whom are registered with the Rarieda District Commissioner (DC). (b) As far as the measures taken by the Ministry are concerned, we have initiated counselling services to the affected persons, we have also provided transport to those returning to their homes; we have also provided starter funds for household necessities, and ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I suppose that my colleague, Eng. Gumbo, while I was answering part (b)--- First, I have said that we are counselling those people, because of the flare-up we had, so that people can live in harmony. Secondly, I have said that we are providing them with starter funds, so that they can start their normal businesses in a small-scale. I have also said that we are giving them free transport, so that they can go back and settle in their original homes. I thought that when I talk about transport, funds, providing homes for those whose ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in this exercise, I think we have to be honest with each other. This exercise is enormous. We have had a big problem in trying to resettle Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) across the country. This process has got to be supported by hon. Members. The Government has tried to resettle the IDPs across the country. I have just said that where we have not got the specific information, the District Commissioners (DCs) have been instructed to give us that information. We want to see this process completed and those Kenyans resettled peacefully. As far as what ... view
