Thanks for the link. I missed it earlier.

It looks like it is still a Republic even though it doesn't have Republic in the text of the Constitution.

Our form of government is also a Republic, but the word doesn't occur in our Constitution either, only the word Republican.

“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government”

Since the Kenya Constitution in 1963 looks like it was a Republic, (as is the USA, even if the word is not in our Constitution) it doesn't really prove whether they were using the word Republic of Kenya or not earlier than the change in the text of their Constitution. But it's good to have the original text.

I see.
Maybe you missed the part where the QUEEN OF ENGLAND is the HEAD OF STATE OF KENYA.

Or the part where the commander in chief and governor general are appointed by the QUEEN OF ENGLAND, dismissable at her whim.
Or the part that talks about parliament including HER MAJESTY.
Or maybe you didn't notice that the consistution doesn't create a PRESIDENT.
Kenya didn't have a president until December 12th, 1964.

A republic is a form of government in which the head of state is not a monarch. Unlike... Kenya between dec 1963 and dec 1964.

If Kenya was already a republic, why did their government and official history list the fact that they only became one on dec 12th 1964?
