Proceeding contribution from James Duddridge (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 January 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Kenya.


Kenya

I am grateful to the Minister for giving way, as I appreciate that time is short. I am concerned about whether there were early indications that things were going wrong. For example, everyone whose name began with the letter O was left off the register in Nairobi. That happened well before the elections took place, and members of the second ethnic group that the President wanted to disadvantage commonly have surnames that begin with O. There were early indications of the problem, and I am concerned that they were not picked up.
