But isn't and wasn't Kenya predominately a Muslim country? Why would they refer to "Christian" names on that alleged Kenyan BC? A carryover from the British?
English was the business language and christian names were for the educated who wanted to succeed. Some concepts of government cannot be described with languages like swahili
as with all colonialized countries in africa the turnover to self rule was a tedious process. According to my uncle who flew personell around Africa for Mobil oil in the 1960's-70's, they wanted to self govern but had absolutely no clue as how to administrate, keep records or maintain infrastructure.
According to the encyclopedia, kenya has always been diverse with about 10% muslim.
In other words,
just because the turnover was official in 1964 does not in itself debunk the BC.
