Kenya lies on the equator and does not extend 800km (450 miles) north or south of it. The country has never needed and never had Daylight savings time. Day and night length are pretty much the same all year round with just a little variation. Only countries at the extreme north and south edges of Africa would need daylight savings time. Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia and islands in the Mediterranean Sea in the north combined with Namibia, Botswana, South Africa in the South. Also need to count the two enclave nations in South Africa if we are being pedantic - so Swaziland and Lesotho join our list. These are countries where Daylight Savings Time makes sense. In practice, of these, only about 5-6 countries actually have DST - Egypt, Morocco, Namibia and Tunisia and the islands in the Med. IIRC Egypt and Libya have an on-again off-again kind of deal going on with DST.
