Peru's Housing Minister arrived in Ica along with the Deputy Minister David Ramos, and after hearing complaints from the villagers, he asked them "to be patient."

Representatives of the Federación de Pueblos Jóvenes (the Shanty Towns' Federation) were complaining about the slowness of construction after 2007 earthquake that hit Ica, Chincha and Pisco.

"The government has the willingness to help you, in the rebuilding of the zone, but there is not enough funding. Rebuilding cannot be done at once; it is a long process to be done in the best way," he said.

After talking briefly to the residents of the zone, Sarmiento Soto went to the district San José de los Molinos  to supervise works done on sewage systems and water supply.

Is he kidding?

The peruvian government should be so ashamed of themselves over how they have handled Earthquake clean-up and assistance. Inhumane.

I agree, Mericorps....the planet donated millions for these poor people, and I guess that not all of it has been spent...or maybe is in some global bank earning interest , but not for them I suspect. 
Bloody disgusting.
I did read that it took a while to sort out who owned what land etc etc...but really...for two years !!
It has been out of the headlines for a while too,thus motivation to appear correct and accountable in the world's & Peruanos eyes has diminished,I suspect.
Get on with it !!
