In my opinion the impact was not unlike the impact in other countries. Let me say to begin with that there are many excellent things in Kenya that have ties to Imperialism, so what follows should be heard in that context.

The most significant impact is the concept of "superior/inferior" cultural roles in society. While it is true that there where people who thought themselves better than others before the British, the imperial assumption that money was the ONLY power and that economies of greater wealth were therefor superior cultures and that it followed that all cultural characteristics of this "superior culture" were therefor superior. This is the legacy of imperialism. The exploitation of Natural Resources to the benefit of Europe and not Africa is only a part of the story. The systematic destruction of health care, political, education, and social welfare systems in favor of a model that was not well suited for the new culture. But it all goes back to the cultural characteristics, and all systems reinforced this model so that the lasting and pervasive impact continues to this day.
