• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: (c) The Government is currently using the following media to distribute resettlement kits, money and food stuffs to IDPs:- (i) The IDPs committees in the camps and affected areas are utilised to identify genuine IDPs to be assisted. (ii) Government officials on the ground, like the provincial administrators, Non- Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and faith-based organisations operating in the areas. (iii) The Government had also entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Co- operative Bank of Kenya to assist in making payments to IDPs. This fast-tracked the payment exercise through utilisation of the banks' existing capacity in its branches countrywide. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what was approved by the board to be utilised for that exercise was Kshs25 million. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the process of Operation Rudi Nyumbani, there were quite a number of people who came in. Those were the integrated IDPs, who came to join the others as they were going back home. But I do agree with the hon. Member that there are members still living with families, and who have not been taken care of. We are now waiting for a further allocation of money from Treasury of about Kshs1.2 billion, then we shall move on and deal with the integrated IDPs. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we entered into a memorandum of understanding with our partners, the World Food Programme (WFP), who put in 70 per cent and we put in 30 per cent for feeding 230,000 IDPs. On top of that, the Government has undertaken to actually feed the other IDPs, who are not covered in the IMOP programme. We shall continue feeding them until March when we think that they will actually be on their feet and can feed themselves. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the IDPs who got injured during the post-election violence, we made an announcement that they were supposed to go to hospital and the Government was taking care of those costs. We have been paying for the cost of treatment of the people who were injured. Up to today, we are still paying for the patients who were in Kijabe Mission Hospital. Recently, some three months ago, we paid a bill of Kshs1.06 million for patients who were at Kijabe Mission Hospital; there are others who were in other private hospitals, and who were also covered. Those ... view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The figure is actually Kshs11.1 million which was contributed as Kshs50,000 from each Member of Parliament. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there was a sub-committee which was mandated to come and sit with us and agree on how the Kshs11.1 million is going to be utilized. We are in the process of waiting for the Speaker to send this sub-committee to come over. We can then discuss how the money will be spent. However, any Member is free to give an input on how this money should be spent. We shall give you full value for the ... view

• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the money was meant to be for Christmas, would I be in order to suggest that all the money should be used to buy iron sheets for IDPs? view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the budgetary allocation I have cannot cover the losses met. The losses were in the tune of billions of shillings. However, the amount of money we were given is not enough. It falls far short of the amount we anticipated and the board had calculated for the action plan. Mr. Speaker, Sir, considering all that, it is not easy for us, as a Ministry or Government, to compensate everybody who lost property worth billions of shillings. We are giving a flat rate across the board. This is very little amount of money. It is meant to, at ... view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would invite all the Members to go and visit the transitional camps we have or where the IDPs have been able to pool money together to buy land. The Ministry of State for Special Programmes has provided water and sanitation for the IDPs. We are also providing other facilities like making sure that we support the schools neighbouring those areas so that our children who left the IDP camps should be able to access education. view
