§ 61. Mr. J. Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many Kikuyu people have been sentenced to death for receiving stolen property intended for Mau Mau terrorists; and how many of these have now been executed.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydFour persons, of whom two have been executed, have been sentenced to death for offences under Emergency Regulation 8 F (1), which deals with demanding, collecting or receiving supplies by or for terrorists. It is known that one of these cases, on which the Court of Appeal's judgment is still awaited, involved stolen property. I have asked the Governor for information about the other three and will circulate a further reply when it has been received.
