History
Kenya adopted this flag on 12 December 1963 at independence. Its design derives from the flag of the Kenya African National Union, with white fimbriations and a Maasai shield with crossed spears added for the national flag. The black stripe represents the Kenyan people, red commemorates the blood shed in the struggle for freedom, green symbolizes the country’s fertile land and natural wealth, and white stands for peace, honesty, and unity. The shield and spears express readiness to defend the nation and reflect Maasai warrior heritage.
