Funny, I just checked to make sure it was still on Wikimedia commons, and it’s not. This is the only proff I can find that the image was ever there:
Now I’m really kicking myself because I didn’t get a copy. Maybe nobody did except the guy who uploaded it.
All I can tell you from memory is that it was a Kenyan short form BC for Barack Obama II, that also had ODUYA’s name typed on it as registrar, and at the bottom it said “Price: Ten Shillings”.
To sum up what I said before:
There is definitely at least one other document floating around, purporting to prove BO was born in Kenya.
The one I saw was uploaded to Wikimedia Commons when this controversy was just taking off. BUT IT’S A DIFFERENT DOCUMENT FROM THE ONE EVERYBODY HERE IS TALKING ABOUT. By the time I made an account here at FR to let people know I saw it, the image was already taken down by admins at Wikimedia Commons. Too bad I didn’t save it to my hard drive.
This document I saw has similar information to the one we’ve all seen, including the name of ODUYA as registrar. It refers to the same page number / record number in the long form registry. The one I saw is titled “Birth Certificate” rather than “Certified Copy of Registration of Birth”, even though it is obviously a “short form” and had even less info on it. I also recall that the typist / secretary who copied the info onto this short form gave her initials as AA. This document was also dated Feb 17 1964, and it also mentioned “Republic of Kenya” at the top.
