Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 20 June 2022 to Question 17870, on Agnes Wanjiru, (a) how many requests to undertake investigative actions the Royal Military Police (RMP) have received from the Kenyan authorities and (b) how many investigative actions the RMP have undertaken in response to such requests.

I refer back to previous answers that I have provided in relation to this case. Jurisdiction for the investigation lies with the Kenyan authorities. The Royal Military Police (RMP) are proactively engaged with the Kenyan Police Service (KPS) to support and assist their investigation and, where appropriate and requested to do so, undertake investigative actions on behalf of the KPS. A number of formal and informal discussions have taken place, however, to protect the sanctity of the investigation and the interest of justice, we will not comment in detail on activity.
