The shield contains the national colours, of which: * Black represents the native people of Kenya * Green the agriculture and natural resources * Red the struggle for freedom * White for unity and peace. The middle red strip bears a rooster holding an axe, which according to local customs, denotes a new and prosperous life. The shield and lions stand on a silhouette of Mount Kenya containing in the foreground examples of Kenya agricultural produce - coffee, pyrethrum , sisal , tea , maize and pineapples. The coat of arms is supported by scrolls having the words HARAMBEE.
