Lying along the
Indian Ocean, at the
equator, Kenya is bordered by
Ethiopia (north),
Somalia (northeast),
Tanzania (south),
Uganda plus
Lake Victoria (west), and
Sudan (northwest). The capital city is
Nairobi. The population has grown rapidly in recent decades to nearly 38 million. Kenya has numerous wildlife reserves, containing thousands of animal species.

British East Africa Protectorate and so there was no need to mention

Recent finds near Kenya's Lake Turkana indicate that
hominids such as
Homo habilis (1.8 and 2.5 million years ago) and
Homo erectus (1.8 million to 350 000 years ago) are possible direct ancestors of modern
Homo sapiens and lived in Kenya during the
Pleistocene epoch. In 1984 one particular discovery made at
Lake Turkana by famous palaeoanthropologist
Richard Leakey and
Kamoya Kimeu was the skeleton of a
Turkana boy belonging to
Homo erectus from 1.6 million years ago. Previous research on early hominids is particularly identified with
Mary Leakey and
Louis Leakey, who were responsible for the preliminary archaeological research at
Olorgesailie and
Hyrax Hill. Later work at the former was undertaken by
Glynn Isaac.
Pre-colonial history
Cushitic-speaking people, as termed by Schloezer, from
northern Africa, moved into the area that is now Kenya beginning around 2000 BCE.
[10] Arab traders began frequenting the Kenya coast around the 1st century CE. Kenya's proximity to the
Arabian Peninsula invited
colonization, and
Arab and
Persian settlements sprouted along the coast by the 8th century. Some of the "Arabs", like in much of East Africa, were
Afro-Arabs. During the first millennium CE,
Nilotic and
Bantu-speaking peoples moved into the region, and the latter now comprise three-quarters of Kenya's population.
[citation needed]
The Kenyan coast had served host to communities of
ironworkers and communities of subsistence farmers, hunters and fishers who supported the economy with agriculture, fishing, metal production and trade with foreign countries.

[11] Fifteenth-century Portuguese voyager
Duarte Barbosa claimed, "[Mombasa] is a place of great traffic and has a good harbour in which there are always moored small craft of many kinds and also great ships, both of which are bound from Sofala and others which come from Cambay and Melinde and others which sail to the island of Zanzibar."

Initially these traders came mainly from
Arab states, but later many also came from
Zanzibar (such as
Tippu Tip).
[13] Close to 90% of the population on the Kenya coast was enslaved.
[14]
The
Luo of Kenya descend from early agricultural and herding communities from western Kenya's early pre-colonial history. The Luo along with other tribes associated with the
Nilotic language group, are known to have originated from the north of Kenya, probably the northern regions of modern Sudan. The
Nilotes, as they are known, are an anthropological group that originated from the northeastern regions of Africa. They may have moved south because of the wars that characterized the growth of territories such as
Kush and Egypt. In Kenya this group comprises the Luo,
Kalenjin, the
Turkana and the
Maasai as the main groups. This is evidenced by the presence of similar dialects among certain tribes in modern day Sudan. These tribes include the
Acoli and
Lwo (not same as Luo) who occupy modern
Darfur region.
[citation needed]There are also other tribes belonging to this group in Uganda and Tanzania.
.^ Throughout the 1970s relations with neighboring countries deteriorated as well; there was a territorial dispute with Uganda, and Tanzania closed its border with Kenya when Kenya harbored several of Idi Amin Amin, Idi (ē`dē amēn`), c.1925–2003, Ugandan army officer and dictator.- Alex Jones’ Prison Planet.com » Shocking New Birth Certificate Proof Obama Born In Kenya? 12 September 2009 11:58 UTC www.prisonplanet.com [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]

In Uganda they are known to have established the
Buganda Kingdom and the
Toro Kingdom. The Luo in Kenya are known to have fought numerous wars with their neighbours, notably the Kalenjin, for control of the lake.
[citation needed]Throughout the centuries the Kenyan Coast has played host to many merchants and explorers. Among the cities that line the Kenyan coast is the City of Malindi.

Malindi has traditionally been a friendly port city for foreign powers. In 1414, the Arab Sultan of Malindi initiated diplomatic relations with
Ming Dynasty China during the voyages of the explorer
Zheng He.
[15] Malindi authorities welcomed
Portuguese explorer,
Vasco da Gama, in 1498.

The
Republic of Venice had gained control over much of the trade routes between Europe and Asia. After traditional land routes to India had been closed by the
Ottoman Turks, Portugal hoped to use the sea route pioneered by Gama to break the once Venetian trading monopoly.

Portuguese naval vessels were very disruptive to the commerce of Portugal's enemies within the western Indian Ocean and were able to demand high tariffs on items transported through the sea given their strategic control of ports and shipping lanes. The construction of
Fort Jesus in Mombasa in 1593 was meant to solidify Portuguese hegemony in the region, but their influence was clipped by the
English,
Dutch and
Omani Arab incursions into the region during the 17th century.

Like their predecessors, the Omani Arabs were primarily able only to control the coastal areas, not the interior. However, the creation of clove
plantations, intensification of the
slave trade and relocation of the Omani capital to
Zanzibar in 1839 by
Seyyid Said had the effect of consolidating the Omani power in the region.

The
Carrier Corps was formed and ultimately mobilised over 400,000 Africans, contributing to their long-term politicisation.
During the early part of the 20th century, the interior central highlands were settled by British and other European farmers, who became wealthy farming
coffee and
tea.
[18] By the 1930s, approximately 30 000 white
settlers lived in the area and were offered many political powers because of their effect on the economy.

The governor requested and obtained British and African troops, including the
King's African Rifles. In January 1953, Major General Hinde was appointed as director of
counter-insurgency operations. The situation did not improve for lack of intelligence, so
General Sir George Erskine was appointed commander-in-chief of the colony's armed forces in May 1953, with the personal backing of
Winston Churchill.
The capture of Warũhiũ Itote (aka
General China) on 15 January 1954, and the subsequent interrogation led to a better understanding of the Mau Mau command structure.
Operation Anvil opened on 24 April 1954, after weeks of planning by the army with the approval of the War Council. The operation effectively placed
Nairobi under military siege, and the occupants were screened and the Mau Mau supporters moved to
detention camps. May 1953 also saw the Home Guard officially recognized as a branch of the Security Forces.

By the end of the emergency the Home Guard had killed 4686 Mau Mau, amounting to 42% of the total insurgents. The capture of
Dedan Kimathi on 21 October 1956, in
Nyeri signified the ultimate defeat of the
Mau Mau and essentially ended the military offensive.

The 1983 elections were held a year early, and were a direct result of
an abortive military coup attempt on 1 August 1982.
The abortive coup was masterminded by a lowly ranked Air Force serviceman, Senior Private Hezekiah Ochuka and was staged mainly by enlisted men in the Air Force. The attempt was quickly suppressed by Loyalist forces led by the Army, the General Service Unit (GSU) — a paramilitary wing of the police — and later the regular police, but not without civilian casualties. This event led to the disbanding of the entire Air Force and a large number of its former members were either dismissed or court-martialled.
The election held in 1988 saw the advent of the
mlolongo (queuing) system, where voters were supposed to line up behind their favoured candidates instead of a secret ballot
[23]. This was seen as the climax of a very undemocratic regime and it led to widespread agitation for constitutional reform. Several contentious clauses, including one that allowed for only one political party were changed in the following years
[24]. In democratic, multiparty elections in 1992 and 1997, Daniel arap Moi won re-election. In 2002, Moi was constitutionally barred from running, and
Mwai Kǐbakǐ, running for the opposition coalition "National Rainbow Coalition" —
NARC, was elected President. Anderson (2003) reports the The elections were judged free and fair by local and international observers, and seemed to mark a turning point in Kenya's democratic evolution.

Executive power is exercised by the government.
Legislative power is vested in both the
government and the
National Assembly. The
Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. However, there was growing concern especially during former president Daniel arap Moi's tenure that the executive was increasingly meddling with the affairs of the
judiciary.
Kenya has maintained remarkable stability despite changes in its political system and crises in neighbouring countries. A cross-party parliamentary reform initiative in the autumn of 1997 revised some oppressive laws inherited from the colonial era that had been used to limit freedom of speech and assembly. This improved public freedoms and contributed to generally credible national elections in December 1997.
In December 2002, Kenyans held democratic and open elections, most of which were judged free and fair by international observers.

As the count came in to the Kenyan Election Commission, Odinga was shown to have a slight, and then substantial lead. However, as the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) continued to count the votes, Kibaki closed the gap and then overtook his opponent by a substantial margin. This led to protests and open discrediting of the ECK for complicity and to Odinga declaring himself the "people's president" and calling for a recount.

Provinces, districts, and divisions
Kenya comprises eight
provinces each headed by a Provincial Commissioner (centrally appointed by the president). The provinces (
mkoa singular
mikoa plural in
Swahili) are subdivided into
districts (
wilaya). There were 69 districts as of 1999 census. Districts are then subdivided into 497
divisions (
taarafa). The divisions are then subdivided into 2,427
locations (
mtaa) and then 6,612 sublocations (
mtaa mdogo).
[35] The City of Nairobi enjoys the status of a full administrative province. The government supervises administration of districts and provinces. The provinces are:
Local governance in Kenya is practised through
local authorities. Many urban centres host city, municipal or town councils. Local authorities in rural areas are known as county councils. Local councillors are elected by civic elections, held alongside general elections.

Geography and climate
Mount Kenya is the highest peak in Kenya at 5,199 m (17,057 ft).
[37] Kenya is named after the mountain.
[38]
At 580,367 km
2 (224,081 sq mi)
[2], Kenya is the world's forty-seventh largest country (after
Madagascar). From the coast on the
Indian Ocean the Low plains rise to central highlands. The highlands are bisected by the
Great Rift Valley; a fertile plateau in the east. The Kenyan Highlands comprise one of the most successful agricultural production regions in Africa. The highlands are the site of the highest point in Kenya (and the second highest in Africa):
Mount Kenya, which reaches 5,199 m (17,057 ft) and is also the site of glaciers. Climate varies from
tropical along the coast to
arid in the interior.
Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895 m/19,341 ft) can be seen from Kenya to the South of the Tanzanian border.

The environment of Kenya is threatened by high population growth and its side effects.
[citation needed]
Kenya has a tropical climate. It is hot and humid at the coast, temperate inland and very dry in the north and northeast parts of the country. There is however a lot of rain between March and May, and moderate rain in October and November. The temperature remains high throughout these months.
Kenya is currently facing its worst
drought in decades,
[40][41] with many crops and much livestock destroyed.
[42] The U.N.
World Food Program recently said that nearly four million Kenyans urgently needed food.

The country receives a great deal of sunshine all the year round and summer clothes are worn throughout the year. However, it is usually cool at night and early in the morning.
The long rain season occurs from April to June. The short rain season occurs from October to December. The rainfall is sometimes heavy and often falls in the afternoons and evenings. The hottest period is from February to March and coldest in July to August.
The annual
animal migration - especially migration of the
wildebeest - occurs between June and September with millions of animals taking part. It has been a popular event for filmmakers to capture.

Gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an annual average of 6.6% from 1963 to 1973. Agricultural production grew by 4.7% annually during the same period, stimulated by redistributing estates, diffusing new crop strains, and opening new areas to cultivation.
Between 1974 and 1993, however, Kenya's economic performance declined. Inappropriate agricultural policies, inadequate credit, and poor international terms of trade contributed to the decline in agriculture.
In 1993, the Government of Kenya began a major programme of economic reform and liberalization. A new minister of finance and a new governor of the
Central Bank of Kenya undertook a series of economic measures with the assistance of the
World Bank and the
International Monetary Fund (IMF). As part of this programme, the government eliminated price controls and import licensing, removed foreign exchange controls, privatised a range of publicly owned companies, reduced the number of
civil servants, and introduced conservative fiscal and monetary policies. From 1994 to 1996, Kenya's real GDP growth rate averaged just over 4% a year.
Between 1997 and 2000, however, the economy entered a period of slowing or stagnant growth, due in part to adverse weather conditions and reduced economic activity. In 2001, GDP growth improved slightly as rainfall returned closer to normal levels. Economic growth continued to improve slightly in 2002 and reached 1.4% in 2003. it was 4.3% in 2004 and 5.8% in 2005.
In July 1997, the Government of Kenya refused to meet commitments made earlier to the IMF on governance reforms. As a result, the IMF suspended lending for 3 years, and the World Bank also put a $90-million structural adjustment credit on hold.

In July 2000, the IMF signed a $150 million
Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF), and the World Bank followed suit shortly after with a $157 million Economic and Public Sector Reform credit. The Anti-Corruption Authority was declared unconstitutional in December 2000, and other parts of the reform effort faltered in 2001. The IMF and World Bank again suspended their programmes. Various efforts to restart the programme through mid-2002 were unsuccessful.

Other reforms especially in the judiciary, public procurement etc., have led to the unlocking of donor aid and a renewed hope at economic revival. In November 2003, following the adoption of key anti-corruption laws and other reforms by the new government, donors reengaged as the IMF approved a three-year $250 million Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility and donors committed $4.2 billion in support over 4 years.

The main challenges include taking candid action on corruption, enacting anti-terrorism and money laundering laws, bridging budget deficits, rehabilitating and building infrastructure. This hopefully will help in maintaining sound macroeconomic policies, and speed up the rapidly accelerating economic growth, which grew by 7.2% in 2007.
In 2007, the Kenyan government unveiled
Vision 2030, which is a very ambitious economic
blueprint and which, if implemented in its entirety, has the potential of putting the country in the same league as the
Asian Economic Tigers.
Nairobi continues to be the primary communication and financial hub of East Africa. It enjoys the region's best transportation linkages, communications infrastructure, and trained personnel. A wide range of foreign firms maintain regional branch or representative offices in the city. In March 1996, the Presidents of Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda re-established the
East African Community (EAC). The EAC's objectives include harmonizing tariffs and customs regimes, free movement of people, and improving regional infrastructures. In March 2004, the three East African countries signed a
Customs Union Agreement.

Oil exploration
Early in 2006
Chinese President
Hu Jintao signed an oil exploration contract with Kenya; the latest in a series of deals designed to keep Africa's natural resources flowing to China's rapidly expanding economy.
The deal allowed for China's state-controlled offshore oil and gas company, CNOOC Ltd, to prospect for oil in Kenya, which is just beginning to drill its first exploratory wells on the borders of Sudan and Somalia and in coastal waters.

Changes in the subject content of
history and
geography were made to reflect national cohesion. Between 1964 and 1985, the 7-4-2-3-system was adopted – seven years of primary, four years of lower secondary, two years of upper secondary, and three years of university. All schools had a common
curriculum.

The committee recommended that the 7-4-2-3 system be changed to an 8-4-4 system (eight years in primary, four years in secondary, and four
years in
university education). The table under Present-day education in Kenya below shows the structure of the 8-4-4 system. Although the 7-4-2-3 system theoretically ended with the introduction of the new 8-4-4 system in 1985, the last batch of students from the former system graduated from Kenyan Universities in 1992.

The total number of points is 81.
The average grade is 81 divided by 8, which equals 10.1 (approximately 10.0 points) which is Grade B+ according to the grading system. This student qualifies to join one of the Public Universities for his good score. Training institutions and faculties and departments determine their own minimum entry requirements.
Students who manage a grade of C+ qualify to do a degree course at the University. Owing to competition, and fewer places at the University, those with B and in a few cases B-, and above are taken for degree courses at the
Public Universities and benefit by paying government-subsidised fees. The rest join
private universities or middle-level colleges.
Interestingly, the number of students admitted to public universities through J.A.B depends on the total number of beds available in all the public universities.

Over the years however graduates have proved critics wrong by excelling in universities locally and abroad. Indeed, the braindrain being experienced where health workers and scholars emigrate to Western countries is proof of this. Many 8-4-4 graduates have also excelled in universities outside the country.
The emphasis on vocational training has waned and recent changes to the curriculum have now laid more emphasis on information technology, sciences, mathematics and languages. In any case, the academic workload and emphasis on passing written examinations has left little room for carpentry, masonry, cooking and other vocational training.
Culture
A
Maasai man in traditional attire
Kenya is a diverse country, with many different cultures represented. Notable cultures include the
Swahili on the coast,
pastoralist communities in the north, and several different communities in the central and western regions. Today, the
Maasai culture is well known, given its heavy exposure from tourism, however, Maasai make up a relatively minor percentage of the Kenyan population. The Maasai are known for their elaborate upper body adornment and jewelry.
Kenya has an extensive music, television and theatre scene.
Literature
Ngugi wa Thiong'o is one of the best known writers of Kenya. His book,
Weep Not, Child is an illustration of life in Kenya during the British occupation. This is a story about the effects of the Mau Mau on the lives of black Kenyans.
