§ Mr. Wilkesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many Africans are serving on the municipal council of Nairobi and by whom were they nominated; and whether he will take steps to introduce a system of election for the filling of African seats on this body.
Mr. Creech JonesUnder an ordinance made this year two African members have been nominated by the Governor to sit on the Nairobi Municipal Council As provision for the appointment of African members has been made so recently it is altogether too premature to consider whether any change in the present method of their selection should be made.
