The flag was adopted on 12
December 1963. It is based on the black over red over green flag
of KANU (Kenya African National Union) that led the fight for
freedom. The colors symbolize black majority, blood and natural
wealth. On independence the white fimbriation was added,
symbolizing peace. The defence of freedom is symbolized by a
traditional Masai shield and two spears.
Each flag shown is
the flag used by that
nation's government and displayed at the U.N.
headquarters. Where noted the "civil" flag is also
available. It is identical to the "government" flag except
the seal is omitted.
Flags for Outdoor use are made of 100% heavyweight
nylon and finished with strong canvas headings and brass
grommets.
