  • Colonialism and the Seventh-Day Adventists in Kenya
    Image not found or type unknown Colonialism and the Seventh-day Adventists in Kenya GODFREY K. SANG, AND PETER OMARI NYANGWENCHA Godfrey K. Sang is a historical researcher and writer with an interest in Adventist history. He holds a B.A. in History from the University of Eastern Africa Baraton and a number of qualifications from other universities. He is a published author. He is the co-author of the book On the Wings of a Sparrow: How the Seventh-day Adventist church came to Western Kenya. Peter Omari Nyangwencha (B.A. and M.A. in History; M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction) is a lecturer, Department of History, University of Eastern Africa, Baraton. Overview of Kenya The formal colonial period in Kenya started in 1888 with the granting of a Royal Charter to the Imperial British East Africa Company (IBEAC) by the British Crown, to exploit the British sphere of influence between Zanzibar and Uganda.1 However, it was not until July 1, 1895, that Arthur H. Hardinge, Her Majesty’s Representative and Consul General at Zanzibar, proclaimed East Africa a British protectorate.2 Between 1896 and 1900, the British established their presence among the Luo and Gusii peoples (part of Uganda protectorate).3 The relations between various communities and the British were characterized by suspicion and mistrust. The Gusii community, for instance, had been forewarned by the prophet Sakawa about the coming of strangers who would interfere with their way of life. The British, on the other hand, regarded this community as troublesome, resulting in the use of military expeditions against the community at the onset of colonial rule.
