Solve the IDP question once and for all

For three decades now, the ping pong over the resettlement of displaced families has continued with no solution in sight. Every election cycle, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) become a political pawn as politicians abandon moral leadership to engage in blame games and ethnic profiling. Since the first multi-party elections of 1992, thousands of Kenyans have been dislodged from their homes by political and land clashes. The situation became worse in 2008.

While some IDPs still reside in camps, a good number have been integrated in communities and are coping well. Since 2008, more than Sh26 billion has been spent on resettlement but the problem refuses to go away.
