Honestly I think that the Vatican has the most beautiful flag in the world. The pope has style.

Remember this song that used to play during public holidays?

Kenya, Kenya, Kenya taifa letu,
Kenya, Kenya, Kenya nchi yetu!

Picture the Kenyan flag fluttering in the wind with the Kenyan National Anthem thundering in the skies...2 beautiful!

with ur thinkin u might as well pick the rainbow and call it a flag! hizo colors zinarepresent (major kenyan authentic ideas) jus like stato.u don c black in their flag ama sijui color ya wahindi na color ya technology n all that bullisht! a flag represents the ideologies a country is formed on!

It would be even more beautiful if they took out the shield and spears and put the court of arms with it's golden lions.

Enyewe flag yetu ni poa. But hizo mishale saa zingine utisha, especially after recent vitukos. Map pia ni poa, lakini kale ka Elemi triangle uaribu ile traditional t-shirt. Imagine kaa kilimanjaro ingekuwa bado yetu. Shape ingepotea!

Talking of similar flags, ebu cheki Italy, India na Ireland. Halafu Greece na Finland. Then Netherlands na France followed by Belgium and Germany. Hatimaye Switzerland na Denmark.

Totally confused

ANd especially with the recent violence, I concur with this But still, hiyo flag iko sawa.
 


I realise that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.

I heard that song immediately after the election and with start of the post election chaos! It was solemn and though I was young then - it kind of connectd with the '82 coup. But it is a rallying call for patriotism.

No the shield and spears are important part of our culture,Look closely at the countries at war,not even the US has weapons on its flag.
