INTERNALLY Displaced Persons in Nyanza province are accusing the government of neglect over compensation.

The IDPs told a Parliamentary Select Committee looking at their welfare that their living condition has worsen since the 2007 election debacle.

IDPs chairman for Kisumu and Siaya counties Nelson Oluoch says that several of them have not received the government stipend of Sh. 25,000 for housing and Sh. 10,000 for upkeep.

Oluoch says that their children are also out of school yet other IDPs children are receiving education bursary to keep them in schools.

He also accused legislators from the region for doing little to champion for their rights in parliament.

Igembe North MP Ntoitha M’mithiaru who chaired the Kisumu session told the IDPs that the committee will take their issues to the government when they hand over their report in June for action.

M’mithiaru says that complains had risen in the past that some IDPs were being neglected a situation that led to the formation of the committee last year.

He says that the report they will present to the government will give a clear picture on the current situation of IDPs countrywide.

Some of the committee members who attended the Kisumu session included MPs, Millie Odhiambo, Dr. Jocye Laboso and Boaz Kiano.

Ends.
