Mr Iain Macleod: I am informed that on Sunday last, 29th November, Members of the Arap tribe from the Somaliland Protectorate attacked members of the Ogaden tribe from Ethiopia, in the Awareh area, a part of Ethiopia in which our Somalis have grazing rights. In this tribual clash one Ogaden Somali was killed and livestock was looted. Ethiopian security forces proceeded to the area to restore order and in...
Mr Patrick Wall: .... I therefore refer to two statements which the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs kindly placed in the Library of the House. The first is a statement by the Vice-President of Kenya, Mr. Arap Moi, in the House in Nairobi, when he said: … the immigrant communities … must not adopt a racist attitude and they must respect the African people. However, in spite of this, we still...
Mr Tony Banks: ...motion 1248 dealing with congratulations to President Arup Moi, who I am sure the right hon. and learned Gentleman knows? [That this house extends its warmest congratulations to President Daniel Arap Moi of Kenya for the significant and courageous decision to destroy 2,400 elephant tusks confiscated from poachers; calls upon Her Majesty's Government to compensate the Kenyan Government for...
Mr Tony Banks: The Government are not doing enough. Will the Minister commend President Arap Moi for destroying millions of dollars worth of ivory which was confiscated from poachers? Will she give an undertaking that Governments such as the Kenyan Government and others that wish, and are willing, to destroy poached ivory stocks will be fully compensated by the British Government? That is what the people of...
Mr Tony Banks: ...must provide far more support for those African Governments who are desperately trying to preserve their remaining elephant stocks. We need massively to step up our aid to them. President Arap Moi has been congratulated in the House more than once on destroying the large stocks of ivory that have been seized from poachers. Kenya can ill afford to see that money going up in smoke, but, as a...
Crispin Blunt: ...the events in Kenya reported in today's press, which seem to be in complete disregard of the Harare declaration, what steps are the Government taking to put pressure on the Government of President Arap Moi? Given the division between the Foreign Office and the Department of International Development, would such pressure include the potential suspension of aid?
John Martin McDonnell: ...election. All but one of the demonstrations for reform organised by the NCEC have been broken up by the police and by supporters of KANU, the governing party. On 10 October, when President Daniel Arap Moi was celebrating Moi day—his 19th year in power—his police were violently breaking up the most recent NCEC demonstration. People were beaten and tear-gassed by the police. Prominent...
Hugh Bayley: ...will be attached to … safeguard the use of Fund resources. That may explain why the IMF decided last week not to restore loans to Kenya, because of continuing concerns about the failure of Daniel arap Moi's Government to stamp out corruption. In 1977, the United States took the lead in combating corruption when President Carter's Administration secured the passage of the Foreign Corrupt...
Hugo Swire: ...International Development (1) what attempts she is making to monitor money sent overseas by President Mugabe; (2) what attempts she is making to monitor money sent overseas by President Daniel Arap Moi of Kenya; (3) what discussions she has had with the Swiss authorities in order to freeze President Mugabe's overseas accounts.
Denis MacShane: ...8 million is coming from the United Kingdom alone this year—and my hon. Friends at the Department for International Development are engaged in that. We should mention the role of President Daniel Arap Moi of Kenya, whose statesmanship helped to bring the agreement to fruition.
Lord Alton of Liverpool: My Lords, I welcome what the Minister has said to the noble Lord, Lord Steel of Aikwood. Does she agree that during the final months of the rule of Daniel arap Moi in Kenya corruption had become endemic and had led to the closure of a number of United Nations schemes, particularly the building of water catchment dams in remote areas of Kenya such as Turkana, which I visited a few months ago?...
Boris Johnson: ...Ian Smith. One has only to consider what Mugabe's fellow African leaders say about him to understand that they see Mugabe and the issue in a very different way. On his re-election in 2002, Daniel Arap Moi sent his "congratulations and best wishes to his dear brother." Benjamin Mpaka in Tanzania said Mugabe was "a champion of democracy" and added that "the people of Zimbabwe have spoken...
Vincent Cable: May I ask, as somebody who used to work for the Kenya Treasury in the years before it was looted by Arap Moi and his associates, why the Government are undermining the drive against corruption by exempting British businesses from the obligation to declare the identity of their commission agents and financial intermediaries when they apply for Export Credits Guarantee Department assistance and...
Shiona Baird: ...the lives of thousands, if not millions, of people by empowering others to change their situations. Her road to success was not easy. She was seen to be challenging the Kenyan Government of Daniel arap Moi. She was frequently the target of Government vilification and suffered physical attacks and imprisonment. However, she refused to compromise her belief that the people—as opposed to...
Lord Alton of Liverpool: ...in addition to the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Steel, this represents a tragedy for Africa generally, because so many people looked at the peaceful transition from the government of Daniel arap Moi as an example of how regimes could be changed through democracy and the ballot box; and that this retrograde step will therefore reflect badly not just on Kenya but on the democratic...
Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay: ...came up when he is in Darfur. I know that he will follow the debate with great interest. In almost half a century since independence, Kenya has had only three presidents—Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel arap Moi and now Mwai Kibaki. In just over three weeks' time on 27 December, Kenya's 14 million registered voters will decide whether to move onto a fourth. As the leader of the EU observer team,...
David Miliband: ...support. Kenya provided the second crisis of the new year break. When President Kibaki won the presidency in 2002, it was hailed as the most free and fair election Kenya had seen. Daniel Arap Moi's party accepted the result and ceded power. Tribal and ethnic divisions were overcome as the population rallied behind the new Government. It was a moment of great optimism. It is a marked...
Lord Malloch-Brown: ...support."Kenya provided the second crisis of the new year break.

Sally Keeble: ...about who is pulling the strings. Like others, I welcome the mission by the UN and other African Heads of State. However, I notice that almost every communiqué issued refers to talks with Daniel arap Moi. Moi's influence in connection with Kibaki is well known. He was his fund-raiser during the election campaign. This is a president who was thrown out in the previous elections for...
Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay: ...a request of this kind? In particular, will the firm and prompt action that the Foreign Secretary has promised in this case be firmer and prompter than in the disgraceful case of President Daniel arap Moi of Kenya, who looted hundreds of millions from his people, and indeed of British taxpayers' aid, left a lot of it in London banks, and eight years on has still not had to pay back a penny?
