| Updated Thu, April 20th 2017 at 00:09 GMT +3The High Court in Nakuru has barred the Government from disbursing Sh6 billion set aside for resettlement and compensation of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). In a ruling issued on Tuesday, judge Janet Mulwa allowed the application by Internally Displaced Persons Support Initiative (IDPSI) and certified it urgent. She further issued a temporary injunction preventing the Government through the Ministry of Devolution from releasing the funds until the matter is fully heard and determined. Through their lawyer, Wilfred Konosi, the IDPs submitted that those in the list to be paid are not genuine IDPs.
