159. The Committee considered the initial report of
Kenya (E/1990/5/Add.17) at its 12th meeting on 9 May
and, at its 28th meeting on 20 May 1994, adopted the
following decision.
160. The Committee appreciates the willingness of
the Government of Kenya to present a report to the
Committee and to engage in a dialogue with it. Having
considered the information contained in the initial
report and the oral replies to questions raised, the
Committee decides to request the State party to prepare
a new comprehensive report which follows the Committee's
guidelines on reporting.
161. The Committee further recommends that the new
report should take into account the points raised
during its dialogue with the State party at the tenth
session.
162. The report should also address the points made
in the concluding observations adopted by the Committee
at its eighth session on the state of implementation
by Kenya of the economic, social and cultural rights
provided for in the Covenant as contained in document
E/C.12/1993/6.
163. The Committee considers that the preparation
of the new report would permit it to engage in a more
constructive and fruitful dialogue with the State
party and requests that the new report be submitted
by the end of 1994.
164. In the context of the preparation of the new
report, the Committee also welcomes the request of
the delegation to receive technical assistance from
the Centre for Human Rights for this purpose. In view
of the foregoing, the Committee recommends that the
Centre for Human Rights should provide the necessary
assistance to the State party from its technical assistance
and advisory services programme.
