First line - Hmmmmm, no, abiding by our governing document, aka The CONSTITUTION, is what matters to us!
Second line.
The constitution is a backward outdated document written 200-ish years ago... those who follow it live in the past and do not want to progress... it is time to re-written that precious constitution of yours...or better yet..do not follow any constitution...

Anyone bothering to address the very pertinent points raised in Ulala's post ?
Kenya was a British colony until 12th December 1963. This child was born in 1961 ... so the original birth certificate won't be endorsed "Republic of Kenya" at all, it'll have the Royal coat of arms stamped on it.
Although Kenya gained independence from Britain on 12th December 1963 it didn't become a Republic until December 1964 when it's new constitution took effect. So why does a birth certificate issued in February 1964 have Republic mentioned on it at all ?

December 12, 1963: : Kenyan independence day.
1964: The Republic of Kenya (Jamhuri ya Kenya) is formed with Kenyatta as president and Oginga Odinga as vice president. The party KADU dissolves and integrates with KANU. The government is without opposition.

Look again. The document is from 1964.
It's (allegedly) a certified copy of the original.
Like our short form is to the long original form.
So the fact that both the coat of arms and the worlds 'republic of Kenya' are on the document make sense .... it was a transition period.
What we need a birth certificate or a certified copy from that same time period to compare it to.
