You really need to read through the threads.
This has been shown to be false earlier.
In brief summation, Kenya became independent in 1964 but had already been using the Republic of Kenya in 1963.
I would go back and find it for you, but I’ve been up since 4AM YESTERDAY and I’m getting a little tired.
Not going to be on here much longer.
I don’t think I said that I questioned the date when Kenya started using the term Republic. That disclaimer might have been in the OC article, but I don’t question it at all. I fully understand that this was a designation that came about gradually as Britain released its hold on its former colony.
I have read the whole thread and I am exhausted! I posted teh OC article because it explains the other people who are involved with Orly on this endeavor without going to her web site which may be compromised. It also included a good picture of the BC in question. Those have been compromised by hackers elsewhere. Can’t have too many original copies! ;)
