Miss Leeasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that, despite the official denials by the Kenya Government that Jomo Kenyatta is seriously ill, there is continued and widespread apprehension amongst Africans concerning his health; and if, in order to allay such apprehension, he will make a statement on the present health of Mr. Kenyatta, including a statement on his health in early October.
