Death President Kenyatta suffered a heart attack in 1966. In the mid-1970s, he lapsed into periodic comas lasting from a few hours to a few days from time to time. On 14 August 1978, he hosted his entire family, including his son Peter Magana who flew in from Britain with his family, at a reunion in Mombasa. On 22 August 1978, President Kenyatta died in Mombasa of natural causes attributable to old age; he was about 86 at the time of his death. He was buried on 31 August 1978 in Nairobi in a state funeral at a mausoleum on Parliament grounds. He was succeeded as President after his death by his vice-president, Daniel arap Moi, who in turn ruled over Kenya until his retirement in 2002.[95]

Personality & Personal life Murray-Brown described Kenyatta as having an "extrovert personality".[28] Referring to Kenyatta's appearance in 1920s Kenya, Murray-Brown stated the leader presented himself to Europeans as "an agreeable if somewhat seedy 'Europeanized' native" and to indigenous Africans as "a sophisticated man-about-town about whose political earnestness they had certain reservations".[51] Murray-Brown characterised Kenyatta as an "affectionate father" to his children, but one who was frequently absent.[48] His daughter, Wambui Margaret, became his closest confidante.[48] In London, he had taken an interest in the atheist speakers at Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park.[97] Also in the city, an Irish Muslim friend had urged Kenyatta to convert to Islam, with no success.[97] |
Leadership Kenyatta was admitted into the Legislative Council after his release in 1961, after Kariuki Njiiri (son of late Chief Njiiri) gave up his Kigumo seat for him. In 1961 and 1963, he led the KANU delegation to first and second Lancaster House Conferences in London where Kenya's independence constitution was negotiated. Elections were then held in May 1963, pitting Kenyatta's KANU (Kenya African National Union- which advocated for Kenya to be a unitary state) against KADU (Kenya African Democratic Union – which advocated for Kenya to be an ethnic-federal state). KANU beat KADU by winning 83 seats out of 124. On 1 June 1963, Kenyatta became prime minister of the autonomous Kenyan government. After independence, Queen Elizabeth II remained as Head of State (after Independence, styled as Queen of Kenya), represented by a Governor-General. He consistently asked white settlers not to leave Kenya and supported reconciliation. |
Trial & Imprisonment Kenyatta was arrested in October 1952 and indicted with five others on the charges of "managing and being a member" of the Mau Mau Society, a radical anti-colonial movement engaged in rebellion against Kenya's British rulers. The accused were known as the "Kapenguria Six".[citation needed] The trial lasted five months: Rawson Macharia, the main prosecution witness, turned out to have perjured himself; the judge—who had only recently been awarded an unusually large pension, and who maintained secret contact with the then colonial Governor of Kenya Evelyn Baring[88] during the trial—was openly hostile to the defendants' cause. The defence, led by British barrister D. N. Pritt and legal expert and barrister H. O. Davies , argued that the white settlers were trying to scapegoat Kenyatta and that there was no evidence tying him to the Mau Mau. The court sentenced Kenyatta on 8 April 1953 to seven years' imprisonment with hard labour and indefinite restriction thereafter.[89] The subsequent appeal was refused by the British Privy Council in 1954. Kenyatta remained in prison until 1959, after which he was detained in Lodwar, a remote part of Kenya. The state of emergency was lifted on 12 January 1960 On 28 February 1960, a public meeting of 25,000 in Nairobi demanded his release. On 15 April 1960, over a million signatures for a plea to release him were presented to the Governor. On 14 May 1960, he was elected KANU President in absentia. On 23 March 1961, Kenyan leaders, including Daniel arap Moi, later his longtime Vice President and successor as president, visited him at Lodwar. On 11 April 1961, he was moved to Maralal with daughter Margaret where he met world press for the first time in eight years. On 14 August 1961, he was released and brought to Gatundu. While contemporary opinion linked Kenyatta with the Mau Mau, historians have questioned his alleged leadership of the radical movement.[91] Kenyatta was in truth a political moderate. His marriage of Colonial Chief's daughters, his post independence Kikuyu allies mainly being former colonial collaborators (though also from his tribe), and his short shrift treatment of former Mau Mau fighters after he came to power, all suggest a lack of strong ties to the Mau Mau. |
Return to Kenya Kenyatta returned to Kenya in 1946, after almost 15 years abroad. He married for the third time, to Grace Wanjiku, Senior Chief Koinange's daughter, and sister to Mbiyu Koinange (who later became a lifelong confidant and was one of the most powerful politicians during Kenyatta's presidency). Kenyatta then went into teaching, becoming principal of Kenya Teachers College Githunguri. In 1947, he was elected president of the Kenya African Union (KAU). He began to receive death threats from white settlers after his election.[citation needed] From 1948 to 1951 he toured and lectured around the country condemning idleness, robbery, urging hard work while campaigning for the return of land given to white settlers and for independence within three years. His wife, Grace Wanjiku, died in childbirth in 1950 as she gave birth to daughter Jane Wambui, who survived.[citation needed] In 1951 Kenyatta married Ngina Muhoho, daughter of Chief Muhoho. She was popularly referred to as Mama Ngina and was independent Kenya's First Lady, when Kenyatta was elected President. The Mau Mau Rebellion began in 1951 and KAU was banned, and a state of emergency was declared on 20 October 1952

Overseas London: 1929–1931 After the KCA raised sufficient funds, in February 1929 Kenyatta set sail for Britain from Mombasa aboard a French vessel, the Bernadino de St Pierre.[54] Grigg's administration could not legally prevent Kenyatta's journey but both warned him not to go and instructed the Colonial Office in London not to meet with him.[54] Arriving in London on 8 March 1929, Kenyatta initially stayed at the West African Students' Union premises in West London, where he met Ladipo Solanke.[55] He subsequently began lodging with a prostitute; both this and Kenyatta's lavish spending brought concern from members of the Church Mission Society.[56] His landlord subsequently impounded his belongings due to unpaid debt.[57] In the city, Kenyatta met with W. McGregor Ross at the Royal Empire Society, with Ross briefing him on how best to deal with the Colonial Office.[58] Kenyatta became friends with Ross' family, and accompanied them to social events in Hampstead.[59] He also contacted anti-imperialists active in Britain, including the League Against Imperialism, Fenner Brockway, and Kingsley Martin.[60] Grigg was in London at the same time and, despite his opposition to Kenyatta's visit, agreed to meet with him at the Rhodes Trust headquarters in April. At the meeting, Kenyatta raised the land issue and the exile of Thuku, with the atmosphere between the two being friendly.[61] However, following the meeting Grigg got Special Branch to begin monitoring Kenyatta.[60] In the summer of 1929, he left London and visited Moscow via Berlin, alleging that the entire trip had been financed by an African-American friend. He returned to London in October.[62] Kenyatta was strongly influenced by his time in the Soviet Union.[63] Back in England, he wrote three articles on the Kenyan situation for the Communist Party of Great Britain's newspaper, the Daily Worker, one published in October and the other two in January 1930. In these articles, his criticism of British imperialism was far stronger than it had been in Muĩgwithania.[64] In January, Kenyatta met with Drummond Shiels, the undersecretary-of-state, at the House of Commons. Kenyatta told Shiels that he was not affiliated with communist circles and was unaware as to the nature of the newspaper which published his articles.[65] Shiels' advice was for Kenyatta to return home, where he could promote Kikuyu involvement in the constitutional process and discourage violence and extremism.[66] After eighteen months in Europe, Kenyatta had run out of money. The Anti-Slavery Society advanced him the money needed to pay off his debts and return to Kenya.[67] Kenyatta however enjoyed life in London and feared arrest if he returned to Kenya.[68] He arrived in Mombasa in September 1930.[69] On his return, his prestige among the Kikuyu was high because of his time spent in Europe. |
Early life Childhood: c.1890–1914 Kenyatta was born at Ngenda, an area of sugar cane and cattle pasture.[4] His date of birth is not known, as birth records were not traditionally kept by the Kikuyu.[5] One biographer, Jules Archer, later suggested that it was likely in 1890,[6] although a fuller analysis performed by Jeremy Murray-Brown concluded that he was likely born circa 1897 or 1898.[7] His father was named Muigai, and his mother Wambui.[4] They were shamba folk, living in a homestead built on a spur of land near the River Thiririka; they were farmers, raising crops and breeding both sheep and goats.[4] Muigai was sufficiently wealthy that he could afford to keep several wives, each of whom lived in a separate nymoba (woman's hut).[8] Kenyatta was raised according to traditional Kikuyu custom and religious belief, and was taught the skills needed to herd the family flock.[9] When he was ten years old, his earlobes were pierced to mark his transition away from childhood.[10]

Died: 22 August 1978, Mombasa, Kenya Kenyatta was born to Kikuyu parents in Kiambu, then part of British East Africa. Trained as a carpenter at a Church of Scotland mission, he worked in various jobs before becoming politically engaged through the Kikuyu Central Association. In 1929, he travelled to London to lobby for Kikuyu tribal land affairs. In 1933-34, he studied at the Communist University of the Toilers of the East in Moscow before returning to London and studying at University College London and the London School of Economics. He remained in England during the Second World War, working as a farm labourer and co-organising the fifth Pan-African Congress in 1945. In 1946, he returned to East Africa and became a teacher. In 1947 he was elected President of the Kenya African Union, through which he began lobbying for independence from British colonial rule. In 1952, he was among the Kapenguria Six arrested and charged with involvement in the Mau Mau Uprising against the British. He remained imprisoned until 1961. He then led the KANU delegation at the negotiations which secured Kenya's independence. In the 1963 general election, Kenyatta led KANU to victory. As Prime Minister, he supported the government in transforming Kenya into a republic, thus becoming President. Centralising power in his party, he prohibited KANU's only rival, Kenya People's Union, from competing in elections; Kenya thus became a de facto one-party state. His regime faced border conflicts with Somalia and an army mutiny in Nairobi. His economic policies were conservative and capitalist, and he espoused a pro-Western and anti-communist foreign policy. Following Kenyatta's death, he was succeeded by Daniel arap Moi. Kenyatta is considered the founding father of the Kenyan nation.[3] Kenyatta was a well-educated intellectual who authored several books, and is remembered as a Pan-Africanist. He was criticised as authoritarian and for overseeing a growth in corruption and systems of patronage. Many places have been named after him. He is also the father of Kenya's fourth and current President, Uhuru Kenyatta. Cc lalasticlala , seun
