The Kenyan certificate is a fake IMHO. It appears to be a photoshop of an Australian certificate that was out on the Net. The Republic of Kenya had not yet come into being, it was still the Dominion of Kenya. It would have taken days and a couple of thousand dollars, real money in 1961, to get there. The international flights went to Nairobi, where the best hospitals were. Why would she then travel to Mombasa, on the opposite side of the country from her in-laws, to have her baby? I haven't seen the report, but reportedly a couple of Brit historians say at the time Kenya was divided into regions, not provinces. The WND copy is poor quality, which doesn't allow for inspection of the national crest or notary seal, which might reveal more irregularities.
We were quick to jump on the Rather forgery, we shouldn't lose credibility on this one.
As I said in my post, and on my site,
"It has a number of issues which means, IMHO, that in all probability that it is not authentic.".
The point is...that it has gotten the opportunity to be reviewed, studied, and analyzed...Obama's BC has not.
You may have jumped the gun there. The Bomford/Australian certificate image seems to have disappeared from all the “debunking” articles. Check out post 1,139 about 2/3rds down the page, re
the Kenyan coat of arms emblem:
Looks like the Aussie cert was copied from Taitz’s, and not vise-versa.
“Koyann (Steve Ellis), who fabricated the fake “Australian” certificate, didn’t take the time to replacte the crest, instead he cropped the upper part of the template, as you can see: the words “South Australia” are cut in half. It’s clear that he used the Kenya image as template and not the other way around. The typed letters are not distorted by the paper creases as they should.”

It’s looking a lot more like the so called “Aussie” version is a fake.
For one thing, the folds between the Kenyan doc and the Aussie doc are different not only in number but also where they are located on the documents.
Furthermore:

Look at that bomford version. Zoom in and look at the lettering on the doc where the folds are. There seems to be no distortion at all (especially the bottom portion). In other words, the letters “float” over the folds. Discussion found here:
