The government is finalizing plans to resettle families that were displaced over insecurity in the Badasa location in Marsabit Central sub-county a couple of years ago.

Area Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) David Saruni asked the 350 households now camping in the Jirme location to be patient as strategies to have them return to their settlements were underway.

Mr Saruni made the assurance when he presided over the distribution of relief food from the national government to the families in the four IDP camps.

The DCC pointed out that the government was keen at having the families settled back on their land where they practiced both crop and livestock farming so that they could restart their normal lives.
