Republic of Kenya Coat of Arms, 1963

Republic of Kenya Coat of Arms, 1963

At independence on 12 December 1963, Kenya adopted its coat of arms. Two lions, symbols of protection, hold spears and a traditional East African shield in the national colours, symbolising unity and the defence of freedom. On the shield is a rooster holding an axe, the symbol of the Kenya African National Union (KANU) party that led the country to independence. The shield and lions stand on a silhouette of Mount Kenya with examples of agricultural produce. The scroll has Kenya’s motto, “Harambee”: Swahili for “pulling together” or “all for one”.
