Its a shame it took this long to close. I wish it will never happen again in our country. And are they being paid 400K per person!  I think per household, to go buy a piece of land at a place of their choice. Will they get any land in Central? And who will accept them in Rift Valley? These cash will be gobbled yote and they will head back to the camps by the roadsides now and then cry serikali saidia sisi iko mbaya saidi! Lol  The initial approach where the govt was buying land for IDP started being difficult because speculators would hike the prices since its the "govt" buying, some communities had issues with the people being settled on "their ancestral land"(Remember the Narok saga?)...It was being recommended, even here in Wazua, cant remember the specific threads, that the govt shud give those IDPs the money they go and buy from areas of their choice. Maybe that is the logic that brought it to this approach. Well, I hope it works, otherwise nobody should be living in those camps 6 years later... We will see...but 400K is so much money for a 50 year old man who has never handled 20K for the rest of his life. That is a lump-sum suicide! Portfolio: Sold
