When did Kenya gain full independence from Britain?

Kenya gained full independence from Britain on December 12, 1963.123

The transition to independence followed years of political advocacy and armed resistance, most notably the Mau Mau rebellion, which pressured the British colonial administration to hasten decolonization efforts. Following elections in May 1963, Jomo Kenyatta became prime minister under a constitution that granted Kenya self-government, leading to full independence later that year.124

One year after gaining independence, on December 12, 1964, Kenya became a republic, an event commemorated annually as Jamhuri Day.13
