  • Since independence in December 1963 Kenya has had 5 heads of state and 1 failed coup. Making it one of the most stable countries in Africa transitioning peacefully from one president to another.
    Kenyan presidents exemplify the idea that in politics there are no permanent enemies or friends, but only permanent interests.
    This video looks at all Kenyan heads of state from 1963 to 2022.
    Initially, Kenya had no president. The country became independent on 12 December 1963 with Queen Elizabeth 2 as head of state and Malcolm MacDonald as Governor-General appointed by the Queen on advice from Kenyan Prime Minister Jomo Kenyatta.
    As part of the 1963 Constitution, the Senate and the House of Representatives were constituted into a bicameral parliament.
    When the constitution was amended in 1964, the Senate and House of Representatives were combined into a unicameral National Assembly.

    CORRECTION : in the video we said Kenyatta died in Nakuru and not Mombasa.
    THE RIGHT THING WAS: He died in Mombasa and not Nakuru making the plans of the conspirators unsuccessful

My salutes to the Late Father of our Nation Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, the Late former President Daniel Toroitich Arab Moi, the Late former President Mwai Kibaki, Former President Uhuru Kenyatta. My prayers for our current President His Excellency William Ruto. Thank you for this enlightening documentary.

    I can say William Ruto has proven to be the most resilient of all. With merely no background, he crawled up to the presidency. Many lessons to learn from Kenyan political formations which are replete with backstabbing at all points especially against Vice Presidents.

    Much of your story about Kenyan President is well Researched but the stalemate between the Late Excellency Mwai Kibaki & Hon. Raila wasn't because of the position of Prime Minister but a pre-election MoU of serving only a single 5 years term, which was trashed by the former pitting them to election rivals in the subsequent election.

Anioher advice is Mioi was not defeatead in 2002. He retired in 2002. Keep up the narative. Moi could have refused to hand over power. By the way Kibaki was defeated in 2007 by Agwambo. So please keep up the narative. Annan did not save the country ,the Army gave Kibaki conditions . The economy grew post 2002 bcoz of e-commerce. So please keep on with mainstream media narrative.
