§ Major ELLIOTasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the difficulties of inducing men to stay in the Kenya police force owing to the lack of prospects; and whether he will consider recommending the adoption of a pension system?
§ Dr. SHIELSIt appears from the latest Kenya Police Annual Report that a large number of African ranks take their discharge on becoming time-expired, and that the Commissioner of Police had put forward proposals with a view to increasing the popularity of police service and inducing the African ranks to remain in the force during the active years of their lives. One of these proposals was that pensions should be granted after long and satisfactory service, and a Bill has recently been introduced in the Legislative Council of Kenya which will make provision accordingly.
