Answer:

Jomo Kenyatta caused discontent during his rule in Kenya by

Step-by-step explanation:

Kenyatta was re-elected in 1966 and the following year he acquired new powers. During this new mandate, border conflicts with Somalia worsened and political opposition increased. Kenyatta made KANU, led by the kĩkũyũ, practically the only political party in Kenya. His security forces persecuted the dissidents and were accused of several assassinations of members of the opposition, which is why he caused discontent during his government in Kenya.

Abroad, his image among African nationalists has been severely eroded, from that of the father of Kenyan independence to that of a corrupt despot and accomplice of the former colonial powers.
