An insult to the intelligence of an idiot who didn’t even bother to read the document? Apparently, your intelligence isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
But if you want to talk about why the document says Republic of Kenya in Feb 1964 when it didn’t actually change until Dec 1964, that would be legitimate and people are looking into whether other official correspondence used the term ‘Republic of Kenya’ prior to the change. Rest assured that whomever finds any clues one way or the other will read them more carefully than you did.

It’s from 1964.
But thank you for your gracious advocacy of the virtues of intelligence on behalf of the thread.

Welcome to Free Republic, Shaniqua. In you're first and only post here so far, you are apparently upset about dates that weren't on in the document we're discussing. I'm sorry you feel your intelligence is being insulted but please have your dates in order before posting something so ludicrous as to be laughable. Have fun on FR!

READ the document, you stupid TROLL! It’s dated 1964! Kenya became independent and claimed it’s sovereignty on December 12, 1963, under President Kenyatta.
Shaniqua, my ass. You’re a troll, you came here to incite us in an attempt to elicit racial comments, so you can wave your “found booty” around the lefty blogosphere and MSM.
ESAD!

Nobody says it was a Republic in 1961. But Kenya declared independence in 12/63 and was on the road to becoming a republic even if it was not “officially” one yet. The Kenyans were perhaps the most prideful and fractious of all the Crown Colonies in Africa (See: Mau Maus) and the Kenyans working in the various bureaucracies were doubtless from among the most patriotic and chauvinistic sements of society. Printing “Republic” on a document form reminds me of Alaska and Hawaii gaining statehood in the late ‘50’s. We all referred to them as states even though there was a one year lag time before they actually assumed legal statehood.
“Republic” was the de facto situation if not de jure. It doesn’t stretch my credulity at all. And WND claims to have seen similar documents and I am not prepared to call Joe Farah& co. liars.

This thread is an insult to my intelligence.You insult every ones intelligence with your post.
The first direct elections for Africans to the Legislative Council took place in 1957. Despite British hopes of handing power to “moderate” African rivals, it was the Kenya African National Union (KANU) of Jomo Kenyatta that formed a government shortly before Kenya became independent on 12 December 1963.
We are discussing a certificate issued in 1964.

You could have had a little more credibility if you had posted a screen name a little less ethnic and bias , like Jane.

The document in question was from 1964, not 1961. By the way, virtually all the online references to the "Dominion of Kenya" versus "Republic of Kenya" are links to coin, flag, and Wikipedia sites. There are only a few (about 30); the rest (about 1780) are duplicates. On the other hand, there are over 160,000 hits for "Republic of Kenya". I'll be checking pre-internet sources through Lexis-Nexis later to see how far back this goes or if some later incorrect distinction has been proliferating from sites that heavily borrow from one another.
