Concerning the situation in Kenya.

Summary

Recognizes: (1) those Kenyans who have demonstrated their love of peace, law, and order; and (2) President Daniel Arap Moi's initial response to domestic and international pressure to allow meaningful constitutional reform through his recent meetings with opposition church leaders and his decision to grant permits for opposition rallies. Condemns those who are inciting others to violence, looting, and destroying property. Urges: (1) an immediate cessation to the violence in Kenya; (2) the Government of Kenya to take all necessary and lawful steps to avoid more violence in the future; (3) rapid progress toward conducting free and fair elections; and (4) the U.S. Government and the international community to continue to exert pressure on the Government of Kenya to ensure a lasting and committed transition to democracy.
