[Photo/ PSCU]By PSCUPresident Uhuru Kenyatta wrapped up his tour of Bungoma County on Sunday with an assurance that all integrated Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the Western region will be compensated.Addressing a public rally in Bungoma town after a meet-the-people tour that saw him make several stops to acknowledge greetings from residents, President Kenyatta said the compensation for the IDPs who were affected by the 2007/2008 post-election violence in the region will start in Bungoma and followed by Busia.Integrated IDPs in the remaining counties in the region will also benefit in due course as the Jubilee administration steps up efforts to address the challenge, President Kenyatta said.“We are determined to ensure that no IDP will be left uncompensated. We have embarked on a journey to ensure that we bury that challenge once and for all,” President Kenyatta said as he promised to deploy Water and Irrigation Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa with cash to compensate integrated IDPs in Bungoma County.Last week, President Kenyatta handed over Sh828 million as compensation for IDPs in Kisii and Nyamira counties. Kisii County received Sh358 million while IDPs from Nyamira got Sh470 millions.The Head of State also spoke on his administration’s commitment to support sugarcane farming – a key economic venture in the Western region.He said the Government will release Sh300 million to pay Nzoia cane farmers as it works to refurbish the Nzoia Sugarcane Company to ensure that the farmer reap maximum benefit from their toil.President Kenyatta pointed out that his administration has already released Sh74 million to pay workers at Webuye Pan Paper Mills – which he reopened last year, creating employment to many residents.President Kenyatta censured the Opposition for feeding the nation with lies and propaganda claiming the Jubilee Government is only for Kikuyu and Kalenjin tribes.“We who want to see know that we have Cabinet Secretaries Eugene Wamalwa and Judy Wakhungu who are in Government and yet they come from the Western region. We also have Raychelle Omamo – the first woman Cabinet Secretary for Defence in the country – who is former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s neighbour in Bondo among others,” President Kenyatta said.The President said the Jubilee Government embraces all Kenyans and unlike the opposition, it does not condone tribal and politics of discrimination.“Our main goal is to unite all Kenyans as we spread development across the country. We do not dwell on empty politics. We deliver on the promises we make and our development track record speaks for itself,” President Kenyatta said.He told the opposition to sell their policies to the electorate instead of concentrating on inciting and planting the seed of hatred in Kenyans.
