By PSCU
Nyandarua County Integrated Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have submitted a petition in the Senate over delayed compensation and occupation of parcels of land bought for their settlement between 2010 and 2013.
The petitioners who are among victims of the 2007-2008 Post Election Violence say that despite the vetting exercise that profiled them to be genuine, they have never been compensated even after Parliament appropriated and budgeted for their compensation.
They revealed that their efforts to have the matter addressed by the Nyandarua County Assembly, the Laikipia County Assembly, the National Land Commission, the Ministry of the Interior and National Administration, State Department for Internal Security and National Administration and the National Consultative Co-ordination Committee have not borne any fruits.
The petitioners now want the Senate to intervene in the matter with a view to place elaborate and proper mechanism to give new mandate to the National Consultative Co-ordination Committee Board to enable it accomplish its primary mandate as stipulated in the Prevention, Protection and Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons and affected Communities Act No. 56 of 2012.
They also want the Senate to recommend the release of the money awarded for compensation of the vetted IDPs.
