          Is Wakenya a noun or an adjective?

            It can be both; capitalized it is the noun, however it can also be used as an adjective behind a noun. "Hawa wasichana wakenya..." "Those Kenyan girls..."

              Both, but in this context, it appears to be a noun

                      Mkenya is singular (one kenyan) Wakenya is plural (multiple kenyans.)
