His father may have needed a birth certificate for something in Africa, and his birth had not been registered, so his father registered it.
It was registered before the date it was printed, and if it was in the hospital it says it was, then the hospital would have been part of that registration process. Sr. might have just wanted a Document that stated he had a son born in the REPUBLIC of KENYA which was something greatly celebrated by the proud people there I would imagine! It’s not every year that happens, and heck why not mark both things with an official document saying “Republic of Kenya.”
Heck if I know, its all speculation.
Ummmm no....
This is a ‘Certified Copy’ of the ‘Original’ birth certificate issued in 1961. (says so right on it)
1964 is when his soon to be ex filed for a divorce and more than likely he needed a ‘copy’ of the ‘original’ to take to court to prove parentage and possibly a custody battle.
