The document you posted was from December 10th 1963.
Check the date.
Two days before the 1963 Constitution was instated.
Kenya declared independance December 12th.

Looks like this document may be more accurate.

No, that’s the 2008 constitution. Yeah, it says it’s the 1963 constitution, but it also says as amended through 2008. So it isn’t really the 1963 constitution.

Most constitutions around the world are not treated like the U.S. Constitution. We list the seven original articles and after that the 27 amendments. We can do it that way because our Constitution is relatively short, and the Amendments are relatively few.

Most constitutions of other countries go on for a hundred or more articles. And there may be pages and pages of amendments. So to make it readable and understandable they interpolate the amendments into the basic body of the text, and remove the deleted parts. As I said, far different from how we do it.

I forgot to comment about the date discrepancies in your post. I assume your notes about discrepancies is correct, I’m not going to bother checking them. Any dates noted in the constitution were done by Kenyans, I assume no responsibility.
