Thanks for you reply.

It is interesting that Kenya is the only country in the world using both dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy.

For what it is worth on the Wiki site, Canada (also a former UK colony with a history of merging two cultures: English and Quebec French)is also reported to use the same two date formats as Kenya, plus a third format! See color code brown on the map. Kenya colony and Mombassa Protectorate of Kenya (leased from Zanzibar) might have had different date format traditions that carried over into the merged country.
