The Kenya Independence Act 1963 was passed to grant Kenya full independence from British colonial rule, establishing it as a sovereign nation within the Commonwealth. The Act outlined the date of independence, conferred nationality status by severing ties with British citizenship, and prescribed transitional provisions for the continued administration of justice and maintenance of public services. This landmark legislation facilitated a smooth transition to self-governance for Kenya, marking an end to colonial oversight and recognising the nation's right to determine its own destiny.
