Plant, possibly a climber, seen growing wild in the forest. Couldn’t get closer and the early morning light was low.

Rubia species.

I guess Rubia cordifolia L. !

Only one sp., Rubia cordifolia subsp. conotricha (Gand.) Verdc. has got distribution for Kenya.

Hence, it should be the same.

This is further, Rubia cordifolia subsp. conotricha (Gand.) Verdc., which is the only sps.

found there.
