HC Deb 29 March 1922 vol 152 c1368W
Major BARNES

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the man Harry Thuku, arrested in Kenya Colony by the Kenya Government, is the honorary secretary of a local association concerned with the welfare of the native population; and upon what charge this man was originally arrested?

Mr. WOOD

I understand that Thuku is the chairman of the East African Association. He was at one time secretary of the Kikuyu Association, but was repudiated and relieved of his office. I have not yet heard from the Governor the precise charge on which Thuku was arrested.
