That should be a thing of the history," said the President.The President is also set to handover another Sh472 million to another group of Integrated IDPs in Nyamira on Wednesday, June 7, 2017.The IDPs benefiting from the funds are the last batches of the people who were displaced due to the post-election chaos."With the money we have handed over we have finally taken care of the last groups of IDPs in Kisii," said President Kenyatta.The President was accompanied by Jubilee politicians from Kisii led by the gubernatorial candidate Chris Obure and Senate aspirant Charles Nyachae.
