[Mount Athos]

I want to congratulate you on being the 384th freeper to misrepresent the modern, amended constitution as the original 1963 constitution.

The original 1963 constitution doesn’t have the word Republic in it.

But you’re in luck, because BP found that the coastal province in question considered itself a republic before the country did. So it doesn’t matter.

Geez - I was traveling yesterday, so I’m just trying to piece this together through a few thousand posts. That OK with you? :) Why don’t you link us (again?) to the original 1963 Constitution?

Did they consider themselves part of the Republic of Kenya?

Yep...and here’s that link for those interested in reviewing his research:

From this blog - post #23 (warning - this is an anti-birther blog):
http://belowthebeltway.com/2009/08/02/the-latest-birther-fantasy-obamas-fake-kenyan-birth-certificate/

There was a one year transition period.
Kenya Independence was declared on 12/12/63.
The Republic was official on 12/12/64.
Someone on the TopSecret blog gave proof that there are gov’t documents with both the crest AND ‘Republic of Kenya’ on the documents during this transition period. It makes sense that they’d have both.

We can see from the Taitz picture, that there was the Coastal Provincial crest and the reference to ‘Republic of Kenya.’

Now Mount, you’ve said the ‘original 1963 [Kenyan] constitution doesn’t have the word Republic in it.’

What are the relative dates of these two Kenyan Constitutional documents? They both are dated in 1963:
http://www.constitutionnet.org/files/Kenyan%20constitution%20amended%202008.pdf

http://www.constitutionnet.org/files/KEL63-002.pdf

The first document, which persisted forward and formed the basis of what is currently the Kenyan Consitution, has clearly marked Amendments from 2008 and before. The amended document (1st link), appears to be a somewhat later version of the other document. Are we talking about later in December 1963? The date of the later original document is still 1963, apparently. Section 1-1 of that document, appears to not have been amended and states:
CHAPTER I
The Republic of Kenya
1. Declaration of Republic.
Kenya is a sovereign Republic.

Now the oft-mentioned 12-1964 is when Kenya became ‘a republic within the Commonwealth.’

But this does not eliminate the potential for Kenya to have referred to itself as the ‘Republic of Kenya’ in its documents, etc, as per the earlier linked post.

Forgive me if I’m covering ground again, but I think we need to establish this point well.
