§ Mr. Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what educational, income and age qualifications will be required of African, European, Asian, and Arab voters, respectively, under the new constitution for Kenya.
Mr. MacleodThe qualifications and disqualifications for electors under the new constitution will be the same for all races. All electors must be aged 21 or over. The educational and income qualifications (which are alternatives) will be ability to read and write in own language or Swahili or English, and income of not less than £75 per annum or property valued at not less than £350. Those who do not fulfil either of these qualifications will nevertheless be qualified to vote if they are over 40 years of age or hold one of certain specified posts.
