HC Deb 24 February 1993 vol 219 cc572-3W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of(a) the treatment of ethnic and political minorities in Kenya and (b) other aspects of the present human rights situation; and what advice he has given to the Kenyan Government about the necessary human rights provisions in Kenya for the continued provision of aid.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We have expressed concern at the highest levels over recent renewed outbreaks of ethnic clashes and have stressed the importance of the Kenyan Government providing security for all Kenyan citizens. My right hon. and noble Friend the Minister for Overseas Development has also raised concerns over Kenya's human rights performance, a key factor which Her Majesty's Government take into account when allocating aid.
