Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that the Government of Kenya should: (1) uphold the rights of assembly, association, conscience, and expression which are guaranteed in the Kenyan Constitution; (2) adhere to its international legal obligations; (3) end all intimidation and harassment of those critical of government policies and those working for democracy in Kenya; (4) either charge and try or release all prisoners and cease all physical abuse or mistreatment of prisoners; (5) release Koigi Wa Wamwere and permit him to exercise his rights of free expression, association, and political participation in a multiparty democracy; and (6) restore the independence of the Judiciary. Expresses the sense of the Congress that the United States should consider reducing, and possibly suspending, military and economic assistance to Kenya unless the Kenyan Government makes substantial progress in addressing such concerns.
