HC Deb 25 November 1994 vol 250 c415W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when the British high commissioner in Nairobi last visited the Rift valley area in Kenya; and what conclusions he came to about the security and human rights position in the area.

Mr. Baldry

Our high commissioner in Nairobi visited Rift Valley province in October and November this year. Security has improved markedly. Displaced victims of inter-ethnic fighting in 1992–93 have begun to return to their homes with the help of a Government of Kenya-sponsored joint programme supported by UNDP, NGOs and bilateral donors, including the Government.
