Andrew Mitchell
Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) (Minister for Development), Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) (Minister for Development and Africa)
There is a risk of crime throughout Kenya with incidences of mugging, kidnapping, car-jacking and armed robbery occurring regularly. The risk of crime is particularly high in Nairobi, Mombasa and other large cities but can also occur in other areas including the Ngong Hills. UK travel advice advises British nationals to remain vigilant at all times when travelling in Kenya. We keep our travel advice under constant review.

Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
