Independence from the United Kingdom
- Date December 12, 1963
- Republic declared December 12, 1964
This document dated February 1964, amidst historical tumult.
This Republic of Kenya title is then a key to authenticity. A forger would need do extensive historical research to determine when Kenyans started producing documents with the Republic of Kenya. If other documents from February of 1964 call it the Republic, then it is likely authentic. But if other contemporaneous documents refer to Kenya still as a colony, or something else, then it is probably fake.
