Etymology: < Swahili harambee, interjection encouraging collaboration, alteration (under the influence of Kikuyu phonology: see note) of halambe, interjection used to accompany hard communal labour, of unknown origin.The expression was used as a slogan by J. Kenyatta, prime minister of Kenya 1963–4 (and subsequently the country's first president) and appears as a motto in the country's coat of arms; compare quot. 1963. It is unclear whether it was introduced or popularized by him. Kenyatta was a Kikuyu speaker. Compare the following, citing the Swahili heraldic motto in an English context:1963 Times 27 July 7/4 Heraldic golden lions are bearers for the shield and stand on a brown scroll with the slogan ‘Harambee’—Mr Kenyatta's call to the nation to strive together for betterment.
