 Demma History 
For 1965 insyd, the British government handed over the Templar Barracks in Kahawa, to the newly formed government of Kenya. The southern part of the facility remains in military use, as the Kahawa Barracks.  The other part of the barracks were converted into a college called Kenyatta College, which offered Advanced Level (A-Level) secondary education at Form 5 and 6 level, as well as some undergraduate diploma courses. In 1978 the entire Faculty of Education of the University of Nairobi was transferred to Kenyatta College, and its name was changed to Kenyatta University College, following an Act of Parliament. The school became the only institution in Kenya training teachers at degree level, and discontinued all other courses.  Degrees offered at Kenyatta were in the name of the University of Nairobi.

In 1985, it was granted full university status and was renamed Kenyatta University.KU (25 March 2016). "Short History of Kenyatta University". Nairobi: Kenyatta University (KU). Archived from the original on 5 April 2016. Retrieved 25 March 2016.Kenyatta University Act (PDF). 1985.
