From Kenya with Apathy: Happy Madaraka Day!

The year 1920 would see Kenya become an official colony of Britain. Land disputes were prevalent, and this resulted in the Mau Mau rebellion that put the country in a state of emergency in the period 1952-1959. The end of the apartheid policy in the year 1944 paved the way for a few of the local African officials to be appointed into the government. However, it was not until the year 1957 that the first elections were held in the country. Jomo Kenyatta was elected on a Kenya National African Union ticket to form the first government. On 1st June 1963, the country attained self-governance following the election of Kenyatta as a prime minister. The country only managed to attain full independence from the British colonists on 12th December 1963. Sixty one years later, the country has grown into an independent nation.

Beautiful history of where we've come from, do we really have anything to show for it?

Would love to hear from you!
