500        |a This newspaper was the responsibility of the Kenya colony's Chief Native Commissioner. After the First World War, the Commissioner was Lt. Col. Oscar Ferris Watkins CMG CBE DSO (1877–1943). While acting as Commissioner, Lt. Col. Watkins served as the first editor of the Swahili language newspaper, Baraza. He was succeeded in the post by Mr. G. V. Maxwell, who in 1922, served at the head of Habari's 'editing committee', continuing the tradition of Commissioners functioning, at least, in part as an information officer for the colonial government. Mr. Maxwell's name is associated with the post in the official Kenya Gazette from as early as 25 October 1921 (ref, the Gazette, issue for 2 November 1921). According to records of the UK National Archives, an Acting Chief Native Commissioner was appointed in the absence of G.V. Maxwell in October 1928. Mr. Maxwell's name remains associated with the post, according to the Kenya Gazette (ref. issue for 19 November 1929) until as late as 31 October 1929. Mr. Maxwell had earlier served as Acting Secretary for Native Affairs in Fiji. Before that, at the rank of Colonel, G.V. Maxwell served in India during the Indian Mutiny of 1857-1858.
500        |a Catalogue records of North American holding libraries do not associate responsibility for this title to any agency or author. The SOAS University of London record associates responsibility with the 'Department of Education'; and, the title from 1926 onward clearly notes "Edited by the Department of Education" on the cover title page. It is more likely that the title was the responsibility of Kenya (the Colony and Protectorate of Kenya) Native Affairs Department, which was administered by the Chief Native Commissioner and later edited by the Department of Education.
