This is a complete set of six official stamps issued by Kenya in 1964, featuring the 'OFFICIAL' overprint on the 1963 definitive series. The designs depict various facets of Kenyan life and economy, including agriculture, industry, wildlife, and the national flag, with one stamp featuring a portrait of Jomo Kenyatta.
