Jomo Kenyatta (1894–1968) was the founding father of Kenya. He served as its first Prime Minister in 1961 to 1964, and as its president in 1964 to 1973.
Kenyatta was born in the village of Ichaweri, Gatundu in British East Africa. During the First World War he lived with Maasai relatives in Narok and worked as a clerk. In 1920 he married Grace Wahu. During World War II, he labored at a British farm in Sussex to avoid conscription into the British army. He died on August 22 in Mombasa and was buried alive on August 31 in Nairobi.
