Kenya Debt: The Debt Did Not Disappear

What does the Kenyan Flag stand for?

The Kenyan flag is a horizontal tricolour of black, red and green, separated by two narrow white stripes, with a traditional Masai shield and two crossed spears in the centre.

 Meaning of the colours

- Black (top): Represents the people of Kenya – the black majority of the population and their identity.

- Red (centre): Symbolises the blood shed in the struggle for independence from British colonial rule.

- Green (bottom): Represents the fertile fields, forests and the natural wealth of the country – in other words, agriculture and the countryside.

- White (the narrow dividing lines): Represents peace, unity and honesty amongst the various ethnic groups and generations.

Shield and Spears

The central motif – a traditional Masai warrior’s shield with two crossed spears – symbolises the defence of freedom and the readiness to protect the country’s sovereignty.

The flag was officially adopted on 12 December 1963, Independence Day, and is modelled on the flag of the KANU (Kenya African National Union), the party that led the struggle for independence.
