• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, where you and I come from – Sen. Were has raised it – because of our cultural practices, people do not accept to go and live in polythene papers on markets as IDPs. They get integrated into homes of relatives. These are people who are still suffering and living in indignity. The most shocking thing in the reports we have in this House – Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., is the one who brought the issue in the previous Parliament – is that, when they were compensating IDPs, in some areas, the Government was paying IDPs Kshs400,000 ... view
