Investigation in Kenya NEEDS OF THE NATIVES Rec. April 12, 5.5 p.m.) Official Wireless Rugby, April 11. The Secretary of State for the Colonies, Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister, has appointed Sir William Carter, late Chief Justice of Tanganyika, to be chairman of a commission of inquiry into land questions in Kenya. The other members are Captain Frank ’Wilson, of Kenya, and Mr. Rupert Hemsted, late Senior Commissioner in the Kenya Government Service, with Mr. S. H. Kazan, of the Kenya Administration Service, as secretary. The commission is asked to consider, inter alia, the needs of the native population, present and prospective, with respect to land, and the desirability and practicability of setting aside further areas for present or future occupancy of communities or individuals of recognised tribes and of detribalised natives. Among other duties of the commission is that of defining the area known as the Highlands, within which persons of European descent are to have a privileged position.
