The Kenya Red Cross and other partners have been scaling down their personnel manning the IDP camps. However, emerging challenges in transit centres where IDPs have pitched camp while awaiting construction of houses, are being addressed. The Kenya Red Cross personnel assisted in rescue efforts to retrieve the remains of both the Minister for Roads Hon. Kipkalya Kones and Assistant Minister for Home Affairs in the Office of the Vice President Ms. Lorna Laboso, who died on 10th June 2008 at about 2.40pm, following a plane crush at Enosupukia, Narok. The ministers were on their way to supervise their party’s by-election exercise in Ainamoi Constituency. Reports from five constituencies that conducted by-elections on 11th June 2008 indicate that there were minimal cases of violence, especially in two constituencies. The Kenya Red Cross personnel were on high alert throughout the electioneering period. However, Kilgoris reported some violent incidences. Kenya: Electoral Violence Operations Update No. 61/2008 Situation South Rift The registration and profiling of IDPs exercise by officers from the Ministry of Special Programmes at Afraha Stadium camp entered its fourth day. Registration of family members is ongoing at Kedong camp, especially those coming back to the district. The main committee of 14 members is in place at Nakuru Showground. This includes a sub-committee of 28 members and a cluster committee of 104 members. Daily clean-up exercises are normally conducted by IDPs in Naivasha camps to reduce health hazards. Eleven students from Nakuru Showground were taken to school. Schools that absorbed the IDP students received food. The ECD classes are still ongoing at Afraha camp. Most of the IDP students from secondary schools were sent home for lack of school fees. The tented classes in Naivasha camps are going on well with one trained and two untrained teachers in charge. A number of IDPs from Kakamega and Gunyak camps are still going on with their businesses for their self sustenance. A meeting with Nakuru Showground camp manager and government officials to explain the situation of the camp to the IDPs was carried out. Youth are organizing a peace talk entitled Jirani Mwema. The talk will involve two IDP camps within Nakuru town and later a football tournament. According to PeaceNet reports, 11 people were reported attacked and seriously injured on 12th June 2008 in Kilgoris Division following the by-elections held on 11th June 2008. The report indicates that nine houses and a vehicle were torched during the fracas, while the media reported that 14 houses and one vehicle were torched. Tension is reported volatile between two communities in Kilgoris. The tension between the two communities began building late last year during the general elections. The PeaceNet report also indicates that thousands of people are reported displaced from their homes following the attack. In Ainamoi, constituency in Kericho District, although polling went on smoothly, tension was reported high in the morning when the election results were announced. Nyanza/Western Region Provincial Administration officials in Busia are still going on with registration exercise of IDPs who are willing to leave the Busia Police Station IDP camp. Some IDPs from Ekerenyo were to leave the camp to their homes. Ekerenyo and Keroka camp committees were dissolved because most IDPs have already left the camps. Meanwhile, other camp committees in Nyanza/Western Region are still operational and active. UNICEF is closely working with the Kenya Red Cross Nyanza/Western Region in education by supporting local schools and students learning in the camps through provision of books, tents etc. IDP and Camp Statistics Region IDP Camps IDP Population North Rift 37 33,608 South Rift 48 33,003 Nyanza 12 2,370 Western 4 5,887 Central 3 828 Nairobi 7 1,664 Total 111 77,360 Data as at 11th June 2008 2 Kenya: Electoral Violence Operations Update No. 61/2008 Red Cross Action – objectives and progress Goal: To provide emergency relief services to 500,000 people to mitigate the impact of post-election conflict.

Lusaka) in the Chair] PRAYER PETITION ENACTMENT OF MILITARY VETERAN LAW Sen. Khaniri: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a Petition on the enactment of a military veteran law to address the needs of military veterans and their dependants. “We, the undersigned citizens of the Republic of Kenya from different parts of the country and abroad, and the True North Society draw the attention of the Senate to the following - 1. THAT, currently, there is no law which compels the Government of Kenya to care for military veterans especially, those who suffered from past occupational illness resulting from official military duties. 2. THAT, as a result of the neglect, many retired service men and women are living miserable lives together with their families with most dying prematurely. 3. THAT, currently, Military veterans and their families suffer from post- traumatic stress disorder (PSTD), suicide, homicide, incapacitation, loneliness, poverty, broken marriages and relationships. 4. THAT, to the best of our knowledge, there is no national body tasked with the care and management of military veterans. 5. THAT, the Defence Forces Medical Insurance Scheme does not cover mental health care as per Trust Deed. The majority of military veterans coming out of the war which begun in 2011 do not qualify for pension because they have not served for more than a decade as dictated by the Kenya Defence Forces Act.
