Fred Nerks posted this MONTHS ago. But didn't realize that this date was actually called: 
June 1, 1963, reads: “Nairobi, Kenya – Waving his ‘wisk’ the newly-elected Premier of Kenya, Jomo Kenyatta (R, foreground), greeted throngs of cheering citizens as he rode through the streets of Nairobi.
What Fred didn't realize was this was Madaraka Day. Because it was only captioned with the date.
Madaraka Day - June 1, 1963:
- Kenya was given sovereignty over their political affairs and their resources
- Kenya was given a Bill of Rights to be enforced by an independent judiciary
- Kenya created a democratic Nation by rule of law
That is how I learned about Jamuhuri:
Jamuhuri (Republic) Day - December 12, 1963:
December 12th 1963 (Jamuhuri or Republic Day), Kenya attained independent dominion status within the British Commonwealth under a constitution that was negotiated and agreed at three multi-party Constitutional Conferences held in London and Nairobi between 1961 and 1963.
