Compensate us or we won’t vote, Nakuru IDPs tell State

What you need to know:

  • The demonstrators went to the county commissioner’s office seeking his audience.
  • They said they have not benefited from the Sh7.5 billion meant for compensation of integrated IDPs.
  • Mr Nkanatha said the government has their details but no money has been released to compensate them.

Integrated internally displaced people (IDPs) living in Nakuru have vowed not to take part in the coming elections if the government fails to honour its promise to compensate them.

The more than 200 IDPs Tuesday held a peaceful demonstration in Nakuru Town, claiming that the government has been discriminating against them while compensating other victims of the 2007/2008 post-election violence.
