§ Mr. StreeterTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development if she will make a statement on aid to Kenya. [136620]
§ Clare ShortFollowing the appointment of a reform team in July 1999, a reform agenda was put in place in Kenya. This led to Kenya negotiating new support from the IMF and the World bank, conditional on improvements in economic management and action against corruption. Britain is providing budget support of £30 million on the same conditions. This brings our total planned assistance to poverty reduction in Kenya in 2000–01 to £64 million, including £15 million to help relieve Kenya's worst drought for several decades.
