There was drama on Friday at Nuru Palace hotel in Nakuru after more than 200 Internally Displaced Persons' leaders attempted to storm into  a meeting convened to discuss resettlement.

The leaders stormed the meeting convened by the Ministry of Devolution claiming the ministry had been issued with a list of 'fake' IDPs.

Led by the national IDPs chairman Peter Kariuki, the IDPs, who had travelled from all over the country, said some of the leaders in the meeting were unprepared to resettle them.

“If it was a meeting meant to oversee our resettlement how comes in the more than 100 delegates in that meeting no one was affected by the post election violence,” Kariuki asked.

“Why meet in a hotel yet IDPs are on the ground? They should have gone and plan their strategies there."

He faulted government for its laxity to identify genuine IDPs who qualify to be resettled.

"Fake IDPs should be identified and arrested," he said.

Kariuki said it was sad that the IDPs had stayed in camps since 2007.

He told the Evolution ministry to quicken their resettlement.
