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.

You've got to be joking.

1961, That's more than two years before Kenya gained independence -- it was a colonial holding of Britain then. NO one thought of Kenya as a republic at the time. The newspaper account is simple error.

By the way have you heard of The Chillicothe Constitution Tribune? Be honest.

It's more than a simple error. It displays the profound ignorance of small town US junior newspaper reporters in the early 1960s writing about some country in Africa they probably had barely heard of.
