History of Madaraka day
The colonial history of Kenya can be traced back to the year 1885 when the Germans invaded the coast of Kenya that had previously occupied by the Sultan of Zanzibar. Five years later, in 1890, Great Britain took over the German Territory and set up the East African Protectorate in the year 1895. The British settlers began arriving in the country in huge numbers and occupied the best and fertile agricultural districts that belonged to the natives. Only a few of the settlers moved to the northern parts of Kenya because it was very dry.
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.
