You got me fireman15, I am a troll therefore you should be rewarded for exposing me (extreme sarcasm). Kenya became independent on December 12 1963 but not declared a Republic until December 12 1964. This document is as fake as CBS documents about President Bush national guard service. It is ironic that Free Republic discovered the CBS fake documents but now we have freepers posting a fake document and trying to tell us that it is authentic.

We don't know yet what wording Kenyan documents made during the interim were using. Worldnet is currently claiming to have other similar documents: WND was able to obtain other birth certificates from Kenya for purposes of comparison, and the form of the documents appear to be identical.

I suggest holding off calling it a fake just on the basis of the phrase "Republic of Kenya" until we know what language other, authenticated documents were using. It may well be that this document can be invalidated quite easily just on that language --- but we don't know that yet. If Worldnet will post these other documents, we may be able to have quick clarification on this point.

Good comments....Maybe the Kenya bureaucrats were just getting started...and got ahead of themselves...

I appologize for calling anyone a troll. The information posted several times was incorrect.
