Wouldn’t colonial era records be kept in London, and not Mombassa?

No. They would be in Mombassa.

Let’s be clear. While I am sure that there are MANY colonial era records in London, they would be reports and statistics. Original recorded documents would be in Kenya, and even then, they would be dispersed among the local records offices where they were originated. Only if a local office were to have been closed would records be consolidated, and then at another local office, the one given the responsibility for the locale in question.

My understanding was, before the election, that the relevant documents were put in a special status, not to be accessed by anyone unless cleared by the Ministry of the Interior. However, now that the imposter has already been sworn into office, perhaps such precautions are felt to be moot.

Remember, for Kenyans, this is a point of pride.

This guy might have the real thing.

I don’t know.
