• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, after this Question was raised and I was given a list of the 254 IDPs, I requested for time to go and peruse the list. The letter that is forwarding the list is actually dated 26th September, 2009. That is nine months after the closure of the registers. However, we have had a chance to look at the register and we have found out that, 14 people in the register had already been paid in other camps. Another 13 had already been paid in Thika. Two other people are sharing identity cards and three other people are ... view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said that those who were profiled and are missing here and were not paid, will be paid. The rest who were not profiled within the time that we closed the register will be considered when we are considering all the other IDPs. But we are recognizing them as IDPs. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would love to consider those IDPs but, unfortunately, I do not have the funding. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is under consideration and once the Government gives the approval, I believe we shall go that way. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, like I said, since we put a closure on 31st December and I do not have funding right now, I would have to go and look for funding for those ones and many others. That is why we have done the IDP policy so that whoever was not captured or profiled by the time we closed the registers, can be profiled and taken care of. view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware of the 200 families that were displaced by floods in various rivers in Rongai in January, 2010 and are currently camping at Athinai. The Government has been intervening by providing tents and humanitarian assistance, that is, food and tents. However, the Government does not compensate people for disasters. (b)The resettlement of squatters is under the Ministry of Lands through the Settlement Fund Trustee Scheme. As such, they cannot be considered under the IDP Resettlement Programme. My Ministry will, however, continue to provide the required humanitarian assistance. (c)The Kenya Red ... view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I gave an order last week and I believe if they have not been delivered, they should be there before end of this week. view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have formulated an IDP Policy which is going to be presented to the Cabinet so that all the people who have been displaced for various reasons will be looked at in a holistic manner. Currently, my mandate is just to look at the post-election violence victims of 2007/2008. I believe that under that policy, they will be able to cater for themselves. view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, my mandate is really to deal with the victims of post-election violence and squatters. Those people were actually squatters and they fall within the Ministry of Lands. I presume that once we finish the resettlement of the post-election violence, we shall be able to see how we can take care of those who are landless and those who are squatters. view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we recently did a school in Kiwa and it is catering for the entire population in the area. I believe that they are part of the population that is being taken care of to access education. view
