§ 26. Mr. Wallasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies by what means it is proposed that the land resettlement schemes in Kenya, which are largely financed by the British Government, will be administered after independence; and how European land titles and other rights will be protected.
§ Mr. FisherThe schemes will continue to be administered by the Government of Kenya. As at present, the programme for the coming year and the amount of assistance to be made available will be discussed annually with the British Government. Existing titles and interests in land are confirmed in the present Constitution, which also provides safeguards with regard to compulsory acquisition of property and other fundamental rights. We do not contemplate making any basic changes in these provisions in the Independence Constitution.
