The Opposition National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential candidate, Raila Odinga, has accused the Jubilee government of selectively compensating Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) of the 2007-2008 post-election violence.
Speaking during his campaign rally on Wednesday, Raila said more than 5,000 integrated IDPs in Naivasha are yet to be compensated.
He said the President is trying to use the IDP issue to woo voters to his camp evidenced by his recent move to compensate the 2007/08 Post Election Violence victims in Kisii County.
“Naivasha was the most hit in the violence back then and up to now some IDPs have only being given Ksh 10,000 while others have been given Ksh 500,000. Recently you saw him (President) giving Kisii IDPs money just few months to elections to cheat IDPs,” said Odinga.
Odinga called on residents to vote out Jubilee in the next general election.
