answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2020 answer text <p>The UK is appalled by the reported attack on the school in Kamuthe, Kenya and the killings of three Christian teachers. The UK is firmly committed to promoting and protecting the right to freedom of religion or belief around the world. We are a strong voice internationally in defence of this fundamental right. Our High Commission in Nairobi regularly engages with the Kenyan authorities on the importance of protecting civilians, including all ethnic and religious communities, and human rights for all Kenyans.</p><p>While we have not made representations to the Government of Kenya about this specific incident, the UK and Kenya are close partners in the fight against terrorism and recognise Kenya's sacrifices leading efforts to defeat Al Shabaab. Further strengthening our counterterrorism cooperation is a priority under the UK-Kenya Strategic Partnership agreed on by the Prime Minister and President Kenyatta in their meeting on 21 January.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 24/02/2020 16:43:56 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2015 answer text <p>Co-operation on security and counter-terrorism is an important part of our bilateral relationship with Kenya. The Prime Minister discussed the subject with President Kenyatta during their meeting in the margins of the UN General Assembly in New York on 28 September. The Foreign Secretary also discussed the issue with the Kenyan Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs Amina Mohamed in the margins of the same event, where they signed a bilateral Security Compact aimed at enhancing our security cooperation. We continue to work closely with the Kenyan security agencies to counter the shared threat of terrorism. This includes working with Kenya to strengthen its borders, as well as in providing assistance on investigating and prosecuting terrorists in line with international human rights standards.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 12/11/2015 13:26:59 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
