• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Special Programmes the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Can the Minister confirm that Kenya lacks a national policy on the prevention of internal displacement and the protection and assistance to Internally Displaced Persons, despite the presence of thousands of IDPs and the fast-approaching General Elections? (b) Could the Minister appraise the House on the status of approval of the said policy as well as the status of IDPs resettlement? (c) What steps is the Minister taking to fast-track the formulation, approval and implementation of the policy? view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you realize that in part “b” of the Question there is a word that has been mispelt. Instead of “appraise” it is written “apprise”. I also would like to confirm that I was almost swallowed by the raging floods at the entrance of Parliament, but I survived to come because this is very important. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the second time, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Special Programmes the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister confirm that Kenya lacks a national policy on the prevention of internal displacement and the protection and assistance to Internally Displaced Persons, despite the presence of thousands of IDPs and the fast approaching General Elections?

• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I want to agree with the Minister for giving a comprehensive answer and to state that this is an important matter and the Minister was right to give us a comprehensive answer. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: I stand guided, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was just expressing an opinion that I think the Minister is right. But, having said that, the real essence of this Question is about policy for the protection of displaced persons as well as the resettlement of existing IDPs. The Minister says that there are still 158 households in Kuresoi--- The issue I want the Government to confirm is what timeline is being put in place to ensure that each and every IDP is settled. When are you going to settle them bearing in mind that we are going to have a general ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Indeed, we would gladly do so. But when we visited, the Provincial Administration could not give us the document because they treated it like some secret document which already had been given to the Government. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: I do not think it is also unfair because the Minister is a Minister in the Government. She can request the same information either from her own files or even from the same Provincial Administration because that is not our job. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I asked the question on the specific timeline – and which you agreed with me - the Minister stood and said by December and then, with the body language, she said: “I hope”. I want this Government to realize that issues of IDPs are part of the agenda that was agreed by the National Dialogue and Reconciliation Team - Agenda 4. It is not a matter of “if”. Last time, we were told that the Government will settle all of them by December. I fear that, as we go towards the next general election, there is ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Although I would not like to interrupt my good friend, the Professor, the question asked by hon. Shebesh was why the investigations are taking long and not what was found where. view
