Donate food
The councillors were forced to cut short their speeches and hastily donate food when the more than 5,000 victims started heckling them.
“I am very much aware of your troubles but I thank President Kibaki for his resettlement efforts,” one of the councillors said amid heckling.
They asked him to desist from mentioning the Government or the Head of State since they had failed to ease their pain which was caused by politics.
It took the intervention of the victim’s chairman, Mr Peter Kariuki, to restore calm by asking the victims to trust in God and not human beings.
The five councillors gave out 70 bags of maize, five bags of beans and clothes. The camp holds a total of 12,000 victims of post-election violence.

I wonder how our so called leaders sleep at night in their palatial homes knowing that there are thousands of innocent displaced Kenyans due to their ineptitude, living in deplorable conditions in various camps, or do they just happen to be collateral damage??

So people were paid 35,000 Shillings and ordered to pull down their camps and go? Is that all? Seriously, can the government stop comedy and get serious about resettling these innocent people. Oh, men, the people we refer to as our leaders sold their souls to the devil a long time ago.
