Over 6,000 families affected by the 2007-2008 post-election violence are appealing to President William Ruto to facilitate the release of Ksh6 billion in compensation, nearly two decades after the conflict. The families, organized under the IDP Supportive Initiative (IDPSI), are still awaiting funds allocated in the 2016/2017 National Budget.

• Over 6,000 families from five counties are seeking the compensation.
• The Ksh6 billion fund was for victims of the violence, which left over 1,000 people dead and displaced more than 100,000.
• A High Court directive in 2010 recommended an out-of-court settlement for the payout, but implementation has stalled.
• The families are banking on President Ruto's intervention to finally receive the long-delayed funds.
