• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the exercise of identifying and resettling all other IDPs, except the 2007 ones, will require funding. At the moment, the only funds that have been availed to us, are for the resettlement of 2007 IDPs as per the legal notice. I have so far asked for further mandate and instructions on whether we should deal with anybody who was displaced prior to 2007. Even after 2007, there are other people who have been displaced for other reasons. Apart from election violence, there are others who have been displaced because of conflict, drought and El Nino . So, ... view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we were to deal with only the issue of IDPs in this country, most likely we would stop all the other programmes. However, I believe that we can deal with them in phases. The rest of the IDPs and squatters will be dealt with in phases. view

• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as for politicians coming up with lists, it is a fact. Even 149 people out of these, are people who have been registered elsewhere and yet this view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the mandate of resettling anybody who has been living next to the Nyayo Tea Zones or wherever they have been living, is with the Ministry of Lands. They have a department which actually deals with resettlement. There is a Director of Resettlement whose duty is just to make sure that most of the squatters in this country are resettled. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, most of the Kenyans have been displaced at one time or another; some by flash floods, conflicts, droughts, among other reasons. Resettlement is something which requires a lot of funding. That is why I have asked for specific mandate to be allowed to go back and register all the other people, so that the Government can come up with funds for resettlement of all other IDPs. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is one of my mandates to go and check who lives in Kyeni Forest. Since the hon. Member has basically put an official request, I will accompany him to his constituency and visit all the people who require assistance from the Government. view

• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, towards the end of last week, I was given a further mandate as far as these evictees are concerned. I will be visiting the area tomorrow. Since the profiling exercise is going on, we are going to make sure that the evictees are resettled so that they can join other Kenyans in the development of this country. view
