My pleasure. I should have indicated that the Act has been amended
once or twice, but they only had to do with the composition of the
College. It originally consisted of "The Minister", Head of the
Department of Design in the Faculty of Architecture at the University
of Nairobi, the Chief Architect of the Ministry of Works, and a person
appointed by the Minister.

Dear Tim

No idea who drafted it. It seems that the English College of Arms had
no input. As for whether it has ever functioned, the answer is yes.
The copy of the legislation was accompanied by guidelines for
prospective petitioners.
