Why were Kenya people unhappy with British rule?

The Kenyan people were unhappy with British rule primarily due to land dispossession, as colonial authorities seized fertile land from local communities for European settlers. This led to economic hardships and social dislocation among indigenous populations. Additionally, the imposition of foreign governance, cultural practices, and taxation without representation fostered resentment. The harsh repression of resistance movements, such as the Mau Mau uprising, further fueled discontent and a desire for independence.
