KENYAN authorities on Monday began a bid to extradite a British woman charged with plotting to steal thousands of dollars’ of United Nations property after peacekeeping troops withdrew from Somalia. Kerry Page (30) organised the shipping of UN goods from Somalia to the Kenyan port of Mombasa in 1995. At a London court, lawyers for the Kenyan authorities accused Page of plotting the theft of fork lift trucks, shipping containers and other items. They said employees of the company for which Page worked had painted white UN containers red and tried to remove UN serial numbers during the evacuation of UN peacekeeping troops in early 1995. Kenyan authorities are seeking Page’s extradition after she fled the country while on bail pending her trial over the alleged theft. If extradited, she could face up to 14 years in a Kenyan jail.
