Last year while on a tour of Turkana, Kenyan President William Ruto announced a programme to be run with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), would make it easy for refugees, about 600,000, to earn a living while in Kenya, ending a controversial encampment policy.
Five months later, early problems are emerging in the programme known as Shirika Plan, whose first phase of four years is supposed to cost $943 million, largely supported by the World Bank.
