HC Deb 25 January 1956 vol 548 c29W
Mr. Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies on what grounds members of the Kikuyu, Embu and Meru tribes in Kenya are prohibited from joining political associations; and why the National African Congress has been refused registration as a political association.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The Government of Kenya has announced that Kikuyu, Embu and Meru, may, when they have passed a loyalty test and been registered as voters under legislation to implement the Government's recommendations on the African franchise, be permitted to join district political associations.
