HC Deb 30 June 1959 vol 608 c33W
M. Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will permit ex-Senior Chief Koinange, in view of his illness, to return to his home in Kiambu and allow his two sons resident in London to visit him in Kenya without restriction.

M. Lennox-Boyd

Ex-Senior Chief Koinange's illness makes it impossible for him to return to Kiambu, even if the Governor were prepared to allow him to go. Whether or not control would have to be exercised, for the purpose of maintaining public order, over either of his two sons who are now in this country is a matter for decision by the Governor in the light of the circumstances prevailing at the time. The Governor tells me that if both sons were in Kenya today it would be necessary to detain or restrict M. Peter Mbiyu Koinange, but not Mr. Joseph Karuga.
