A section of victims of the 2007-2008 post-election violence from Nyanza region now want the government to compensate them for the losses and suffering they incurred.
The Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are drawn from Kisumu, Kisii, Nyamira, and Homa Bay counties.
Most of them said they were forcefully evicted from their land and business premises during the skirmishes.
They spoke when they appeared before the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security in Kisumu.
Maurice Opondo, a representative of IDPs accused the government of failing to fulfil the promise to compensate them
Opondo asked the committee to probe the matter and find out what happened to the balance of Sh4 billion which was meant to compensate those left out of the program.
Nerea Atieno, the IDP Network coordinator for Kisumu County told the committee that most of the IDPs lived in squalid conditions and had lost hope.
Homabay Town MP Peter Kaluma said the committee would submit its report to the National Assembly so that all the deserving cases are compensated.
