• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: (b) The Government has purchased the parcels that have been forwarded to me to resettle IDPs; 99 parcels which measure 17,183.53 acres and I will table the list. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: However, Mr. Speaker, Sir, three of these parcels have issues and although the IDPs are there, we have not been able to completely resettle them and we are awaiting the issues to be resolved. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: (c) The Government has resettled 5,200 IDP households on Government purchased land and 2,593 will be settled on the land donated by the County Council of Turkana and the Municipal Council of Lodwar. This gives the total of 7,793 IDP households resettled. We are yet to resettle 1,778 households. The Government is in the process of procuring approximately 5,652 acres of land to resettle the remaining households. Once this is done, then we will finish the resettlement programme. Here is the table because I am sure I cannot read the 99 of parcels and it shows the areas and so ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Lands has just finished the planning. We have given out contracts for the construction of the houses which I believe is ongoing. After which, the titles will be given. As is the case with the other parcels, no titles have yet been issued. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, unfortunately, these IDPs were not captured. However, we are looking at how we will accommodate them before we conclude the whole exercise. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am unable to say the exact date because we have had issues when we buy land and the host community is, in some cases, not very accommodating. So, the exercise has had a lot of challenges. But we are trying as much as possible to ensure that we do not go into elections before this is done. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware of the Kieni as well as the other forest evictees. They are all being resettled together. The technical committee has already gone to visit the land. After inspection, they will furnish me with a report. But in the meantime, they are being looked after and they will be resettled as we resettle other forest evictees. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not sure whether I know about these IDPs. Could the hon. Member clarify a little bit on who they are? view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason is that the purchase of the land, that is, Majani Mingi, has not been finalized. I believe that, that is where they will move to. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am happy to visit his constituency to see the IDPs. Unfortunately, the integrated IDPs will be captured under the IDP Policy, which I hope to be bring to Parliament in the next two or three weeks. I will be able to get guidance and funding on how to help them. view
