HC Deb 29 January 1959 vol 598 c139W
85. Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will now make a statement about recent allegations concerning the trial of Jomo Kenyatta.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

As hon. Members will have seen from reports in the Press, Rawson Macharia has been arrested and charged with swearing falsely that he and six other persons were procured and suborned by the Crown to give false evidence in the trial of Jomo Kenyatta. As the matter is therefore sub-judice, the House will not expect me to make any comment.
