His claim is a little ridiculous.

I do take Madsen’s info and go verify it myself. Sometimes that is difficult because what you find easily on the net is actually quoting him.

He needs to get to work on Slippery Daddy O’s immigration files that have just been released.

Funny how that just happened.

Re: Kenya was not the name of the country

Sorry, but actually it was, but not independent till 1963

The Colony and Protectorate of Kenya was part of the British Empire in Africa. It was established when the former East Africa Protectorate was transformed into a British crown colony in 1920. Technically, the “Colony of Kenya” referred to the interior lands, while a ten-mile coastal strip (ostensibly on lease from the Sultan of Zanzibar) was the “Protectorate of Kenya” but the two were controlled as a single administrative unit. Mombasa, the largest city in 1921, had a population of 32,000 at that time.

Indians in Kenya objected to the reservation of the Highlands for Europeans and bitterness grew between the Indians and the Europeans. The population in 1921 was estimated at 2,376,000, of whom 9651 were Europeans, 22,822 Indians, and 10,102 Arabs.

The COLONY CAME TO AN END IN 1963 when independence was agreed with the British. After independence the former colony became known as Kenya.
