What exact? I didn't notice anything odd about it. After all, Kenya had a long history of being administered by British bureaucracy, and you know they speak better English than most of us. If you think they're perfect in Kenya you should read 'em in India!
At least three more official Kenyan documents from the same time period need to be published showing the national identification Republic of Kenya. That should not be difficult to accomplish. They could be forms from any govt ministry a long as they were cotemporaneous to Feb 1964.
Nigeria...haven’t you received one of those famous Nigerian email scams?
Exactly.
Mombasa was the capitol in 1961. I suspect it's also where the international airport happened to be, for that very reason...
I posted these items on the timeline thread to coincide with the 02/17/64 registration of birth.

Odinga says Obama is his cousin

Kenya gained independence in December 1963, and Kenyatta, a member of the Kikuyu, Kenya’s largest ethnic group, became president. Odinga, a leader of the second largest ethnic group, the Luo, was appointed minister for home affairs in 1963, and in 1964 he became vice-president. Kenya became a de facto one-party state that year when KADU merged with KANU.

In 1960, together with Tom Mboya he formed Kenya African National Union (KANU). When Kenya became an independent Republic in 1964, he was its first Vice-President.

In 1959 Mboya organized the Airlift Africa project, together with the African-American Students Foundation in the United States, through which 81 Kenyan students were flown to the U.S. to study at U.S. universities. One of them was Barack Obama’s father

In 1959 Mboya organized the Airlift Africa project, together with the African-American Students Foundation in the United States, through which 81 Kenyan students were flown to the U.S. to study at U.S. universities. One of them was Barack Obama’s father. In 1960 the Kennedy brothers joined this project, after Mboya visited them for that purpose, and Airlift Africa was extended to Uganda, Tanganyika and Zanzibar (now Tanzania), Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia), Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and Nyasaland (now Malawi). Some 230 African students received scholarships to study at Class I accredited colleges in the United States. [3]
(snip)
After Kenya’s independence in 1963, Mboya was elected as an MP for Nairobi Central Constituency (today: Kamukunji Constituency)[4] and became Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, and later Minister for Economic Planning and Development.
(snip)
Mboya’s role in Kenya’s politics and transformation is the subject of increasing interest, especially with the coming into scene of American politician Barack Obama, Jr. Obama’s father, Barack Obama, Sr., was a US-educated Kenyan who benefited from Mboya’s scholarship programme in the 60’s, and married during his stay there, siring the Illinois Senator and President. Obama Sr. had seen Mboya shortly before the assassination, and testified at the ensuing trial. Obama Sr. believed he was later targeted in a hit-and-run incident as a result of this testimony.[8]

Being that English was their language at that time I don't think that is an issue.
What I haven't seen addressed though is the modern looking fonts on the form its self.
I've been away for a while, has this been addressed on way or the other?
Here's hoping that the phrase "Post 2222" enters the common vernacular.
Bookmarked!
January 20th, 1964 is INAUGURATION DAY!!!!
You nailed it on the head. That is what I think why people are so scared to touch this...
They are afraid of a racial back lash...
Hmmm....no I don’t...thanks.
And when working on the job, it is necessary to use your job title to avoid confusion. At least mine is true ... you call yourself humble.
I might be misunderstanding you, but no, I don’t.
I want the usurper out of there STAT, and every single action he’s signed off on during his time declared illegitimate, null and void (to borrow your tag).
but it’s gotta be legit, airtight, and as tough for the left to hit as it was for them to take on the Swift Boat Vets. I want this to be a definitive turning point, the kind that can help launch a Conservative resurgence strong enough to decisively roll back the leftist encroachment upon freedom.

Dennis Noel Oduya Awori has facial features similar to O Sr. and the rest of the tribe.
Yeah but he also said Obama was clean and articulate. He clearly has a bad case of foot in mouth disease.
It’s still there...I posted the transcript at Post #2574.
The shoe is on the other foot now. How does it feel???
In what country?
