KENYA

Early day motion 834, tabled 31 January 2008 by Sally Keeble (Labour). Signed by 78 members.

That this House deplores the violence in Kenya which has cost over 850 lives and displaced 250,000 people; further deplores the assassination of two members of parliament, one a member of the team trying to negotiate a settlement to the current crisis; and calls on the UK Government to both maintain the pressure on the political parties in Kenya to persist with the UN instigated process to find a democratic solution to the crisis, and also to continue to provide humanitarian support to the victims of the violence.
