Jomo Kenyatta (Kamau Ngengi)

Explanation:

The first president of independent Kenya was Jomo Kenyatta, real name Kamau Ngengi. Prior to being the first president of Kenya, he was also the first prime minister of independent Kenya. Kenya didn't got its independence easily, as the British were not willing to give up on their colony easily. The people of Kenya were not given more rights and equality as promised after the World War II ended, but instead they were treated in the same miserable way. This led to revolt among the population in Kenya, so they took weapons and fought for their independence. The British were exhausted in every aspect form the war, so they didn't really committed a lot in fighting in Kenya, so once they saw that it will be incredibly hard to keep the colony, they granted independence to it.
