Over 75,000 Internally Integrated Displaced Persons (IIDPs) are seeking an out of court settlement in a Sh6.5 billion compensation case, even after the government pulled out of an arbitration plan.

The 2007/8 poll chaos victims have welcomed the government to negotiate and settle the eight-year dispute outside the court.
