A group of internally displaced persons (IDPs) is crying foul over the government’s resettlement programme. They claim the government has ignored them. This comes against the backdrop of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s statement on the resettlement of integrated IDPs.

The President, while on a tour of Nyandarua County this week, said the government will compensate integrated IDPs. This, he said, would be done regardless of whether the IDPs went to camps or were hosted by family and friends.
