"Over 100 million shillings in compensation has now reached residents who volunteered their land"

I wish the Gov were more responsible over this sort of crazy compensation. I have seen locally how when they handed this sorta amount over for the grid that some are wise, but most don't have a clue how to handle that amount of money, and wind up worse than before in terms of family and life.

True. Has anyone created a handbook or workshop for these communities before the money arrives? Might save a lot of heartache.

Not that I have seen. It would take hands on training, opening them a bank account, savings classes…. but they just hand over the cash.
