There were actually several examples of the country being called “Republic of Kenya” in 1963. These were what...lucky guesses?

OK, I missed the part where you name any instance of this happening outside of the famous newspaper called the NEVADA PALLADIUM TIMES.

I won't hold my breath, but let me you ask you a few questions.

Who was the head of the state of Kenya from Dec 12th, 1963? Answer, it was the Queen of England. Does that sound like a republic to you? The constitution of 1963 says the Queen of England nominates the Commander in Chief and governor general, and that her majesty is part of parliament.

Who was their president on Dec 12th, 1963? They did not have one. The office of president was created when they became a republic, a year later on dec 12th 1964.

Why did Kenya release a 5 stamp set exactly on Dec 12th 1964 with REPUBLIC OF KENYA on it, announcing their newly becoming a republic, and never have any stamps before that date with Republic of Kenya on it?

If Kenya was known as the "Republic of Kenya" from 1963, why did their own constitution not refer to the country in this way, anywhere in the document?

Credit given to you for posting the correct 1963 Constitution. But read the many posts by BP2 concerning Mombassa and it’s history. YOU DON’T KNOW IF THEY USED REPUBLIC OF KENYA ON THEIR DOCUMENTS. The question is yet to be resolved.

So stop beating a dead horse. Staggers the imagination.

I think it is possible the Coast Province used Republic of Kenya earlier than the rest of the country. Some reading for you:

That's nowhere near conclusive. Kenya most likely did use the word "Republic" on their documents before Dec 1964.

Plenty of newspaper blurbs discounts your assumption.

This one below is not from "NEVADA PALLADIUM TIMES."

This is a news article clipping I found from The Chillicothe Constitution Tribune on April 11th, 1961 on Page 4 (Near the top center of the page.) Click Here if you wish to view the archive for yourself.

Keep in mind this was published in April of 1961 from a Missouri newspaper. Apparently the usage of the "Republic of Kenya" was not uncommon.

That is the purpose of this post. Please discuss.

I know you generally know what's going on here, but I would like to correct you on just one small point. It wasn't Nevada. The Palladium-Times is published in the small town of Oswego, NEW YORK.

Look it up...

How did they refer to their country in that document??? as a dominion??? a state??? a democracy??? or what???
