Kenya’s 1963 Constitution names it the Republic of Kenya: http://www.constitutionnet.org/en/vl/constitution-republic-kenya-1963-amended-2008 This is the version amended through 2008. Any amendments/changes from the 1963 Constitution are noted and dated. Therefore, the Republic of Kenya designation is apparently original from 1963 not 1964.

Wrong! You can read Kenyan history on their official government websites that explains that while Kenya was independent in 1963, it was not a republic until december 1964, a full year later.

You can also read their original constitution from 1963 -- the word republic is not found anywhere in it. Link:

However, the word “representative” comes up 9 times. And in the “Arragement of Sections” in the fromt it references the “Composition of House of Representatives”

Then what is their National Holiday, Jamuhuri Day - December 12, 1963?
