§ 96. Mr. H. Hyndasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will make a statement on plans for establishing African locations in Kenya; whether 52W these locations will form part of the city of Nairobi; and what representation they will have on the city council.
§ Mr. LytteltonIn Nairobi and other towns African residents live in locations or estates, administered by the statutory local authority, usually through an African affairs committee. In the locations there are African advisory councils which include representatives of tribal associations, geographical wards and special interests. These advisory councils put forward the names of Africans for nomination by Government to the statutory bodies. In Nairobi there are three African city councillors. Measures are being introduced to enable Africans to own houses, thus becoming ratepayers and eligible for direct participation in elections to the city council.
