The Kenyan Flag:

The colors on the Kenyan Flag are based on those of the KANU Flag; the political party which led the country to independence. The flag was adopted on the 12th of December 1963 when the country attained its independence.

The black color represents the color of the nation’s people, white is for peace, green is for the land and red is for the blood shed for the country’s independence. The traditional Masai shield with two spears at the center represents the readiness to defend the aforementioned representations.
