Kenya African Union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kenya African Union (KAU) (originally called Kenya African Study Union) was a political organization formed in 1944 to articulate Kenyan grievances against the British colonial administration of the time. Kenya African Union attempted to be more inclusive than its successor Kikuyu Central Association by avoiding tribal politics.
Kenya African Union was led by Jomo Kenyatta from 1947. The organization was later renamed Kenya African National Union (KANU) in 1960. The African Union was free in 1962.
