På 1950-talet började en gerillarörelse växa fram i den brittiska kolonin Kenya. Britterna införde undantagstillstånd 1952 och under några år framåt fördes ett krig mellan kolonialmakten och Mau-mau-rörelsen. Under upproret fängslades Kenyatta och all politisk aktivitet förbjöds fram till 1955. Undantagstillståndet upphörde i januari 1960. 12 december 1963 blev Kenya självständigt.
