Nairobi (ANP)—"It is the people (Africans) who will decide what is best for them," declared A. O. Odinga, vice-president of the Kenyan African National Union, and African legislative council member for Central Nyanza, last week. He was referring to a recent broadcast in which British Governor Sir Patrick Renison, was interpreting the Lancaster House Constitution. Declaring that Africans refuse to commit themselves to any timetable, "because what was given could not meet the demands of the people of Kenya," he added, "Without the grant of total independence now, and the immediate unconditional release of Kenyatta, the African people will never accept the ideals of racial harmony."
