Hostile Reception for IDPs

A planned resettlement of IDPs on a land in Endebess, Trans-Nzoia county, has once again run into a wall of resistance after local residents literally blocked the move. Over 255 IDPs from Alko, in Rongai, Nakuru County found themselves stranded on their way to the promised land, as the residents opposed the resettlement, saying squatters from the area should be given priority.-- And as Sally Mbilu reports, this is not the first time the government's planned resettlement of IDPs is running into trouble.

@olyeti these IDPs never had land in the first place. the ones who had land already went back to their farms long time ago

since there is peace now in Rift Valley let the IDPs return to their lands . I thought the KKK alliance was about peace
