Alan Wadi Okengo, 25, alias lieutenant Wadi, must also pay a
fine of $2,200 (£1,400), or serve a second year.
He was also convicted of hate speech, after saying members
of the president's Kikuyu ethnic group should be confined to
certain parts of the country.
A prominent blogger was recently charged after calling Mr
Kenyatta an "adolescent president".
Okenga pleaded guilty to both hate speech and insulting the
head of state.
He is a political science fourth year student at Moi University.
The Daily Nation website reports that he was arrested while
trying to flee the country.
