The “Republic of Kenya” stuff is a red herring
++++++++++++++++
Not to mention the Republic of Kenya’s own 1963 Constitution, which declares itself a Republic.

SeattleBruce, sorry to rain on your parade, but the original Kenyan constitution does not appear to mention the word "Republic." You keep citing a later version as if it was the original. That is akin to reading the current US Constitution and concluding that the original US Constitution had 27 amendments.
You can read the original Kenyan constitution here. I found it on this page. If you search this original, you wont find the word "Republic." Note that the "Schedules" are not included, so it is possible that they include the word "Republic."
