Mohamud’s return is “first priority”

Stephen Harper vows answers to woman’s plight

The exile of Suaad Hagi Mohamud is nearing an end and Stephen Harper says her safe return is his government’s “first priority.” Commenting for the first time on Mohamud’s troubles in Kenya, the Prime Minister also said that a “full accounting” will be demanded of Canadian officials. “In the case of the Canadian Border Service Agency,” he said, “I know that [Public Safety Minister Peter] Van Loan is asking that organization for a full accounting of their actions in this case and we’ll obviously review those.” Mohamud, a Canadian citizen, has been stuck in Kenya for nearly three months since being accused of passport fraud.
