It became a part of the British empire as a colony (see British [[East Africa]]). After the bloody Mau-Mau rebellion in the early 1960's, Kenya achieved independence (1964), but remained a member of the British Commonwealth. Jomo Kenyatta, member of the Kikuyu tribe, was the first president of Kenya (1964-1978) and appears on all coins of that period.
