§ Mr. RHYS J. DAVIESasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that 22 Kikuyu natives were shot dead by Government Police on 16th March, 1922, when the natives demonstrated because they were under the impression that their leader in an agitation against increased taxation and reduction in remuneration was to be executed; whether he has conducted an inquiry into the affair; and, if so, whether he will state what penalties, if any, are to be imposed on those responsible for the shooting?
Mr. WOODI have no information beyond what has already been given to the House. The Governor's dispatch on the subject may be expected by an early mail.
