This is a news article clipping I found from The Chillicothe Constitution Tribune on April 11th, 1961 on Page 4 (Near the top center of the page.) Click Here if you wish to view the archive for yourself.

Keep in mind this was published in April of 1961 from a Missouri newspaper. Apparently the usage of the "Republic of Kenya" was not uncommon.

That is the purpose of this post. Please discuss.

Thanks for posting this article from The Chillicothe Constitution Tribune.

Instead of indicating common usage, perhaps it indicates an honest mistake on the part of the staff of a smaller newspaper in Missouri.

In 1961, when this article was written, Kenya was a Colonial holding of Britain, and the Queen of England was their head of state.

It's hard to believe anyone in Kenya would have conceived themselves as a Republic at this time, years before they even gained independence, but I could be wrong.
