§ 66. Mr. Dribergasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many African members of the Unified Colonial Service are on duty in Kenya; what arrangements have been made in Kenya to set up local machinery for recruitment of suitable Africans for administrative posts with status comparable with that of officers recruited in the United Kingdom; and how many have so far been appointed.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsThere are at present no African members of the Unified branches of the Colonial Service in Kenya. Should apparently suitable candidates present themselves in Kenya anad hoc board would be set up to consider their applications, pending the creation of a local public service commission. As regards the last part of the Question, no such appointments have yet been made.
