§ 26. Mr. Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many elected African members of the Kenya Legislative Council have been invited to join the Executive Council; and how many have agreed to do so.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydOne elected African, Mr. Amalemba, was invited and agreed to join the Council of Ministers.
§ Mr. BrockwayIs it not the case that this African was one of those elected indirectly by the Legislative Council, and in view of the fact that the popularly elected Africans still decline to operate the Constitution and of the dangerous situation in Kenya, where many other movements are arising and charges are being made about conditions in detention camps, is it not very desirable to meet the demands of the elected Africans?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydMr. Amalemba is a special elected member and just as much an elected African as the African constituency elected members. It is precisely the mentality which clearly still dominates the hon. Gentleman's thinking which must be eradicated if there is to be real progress in Kenya.
