Another bit of official history from an official kenyan government website.
Kenya got her Indepedence in 1963 and became a Republic in 1964. Kenya has had two former Presidents: His Excellency The Late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, C.G.H., M.P. (1964 - 1978) and His Excellency Mzee Daniel T. A. Moi, C.G.H., M.P. (1978 - 2002).
Remember we’re talking BANANA REPUBLIC here. Govt corruption is/was rampant. Do you expect everything was done to the letter in the Birth Registrars, especially after they claimed their independence from the Brits? They HATED the Brits. They easily could have had Republic of Kenya forms, knowing thats where they were headed.
