even on a fresh install and since many may years, despite even Debian
Bug reports - e.g. #756277:

There is an error with locale information for Kenya in ubuntu
installation. Language is automatically set to 'Oromo' (understood only
by a 3% minority of Ethiopian descent) yet the official languages in
Kenya are (the not selectable) en-KE (somehow British English, Kenyan
flavour, paper format A4, currency KES, currency format KES 123,456.00
or 123,456/= ) and (the also not selectable) sw-KE (somehow Swahili,
Kenyan flavour, paper format A4, currency KES, currency format KES
123,456.00 or 123,456/= )

>>> please make work both locales, en-KE (default) and sw-KE. (Remove
Oromo from Kenyan locales)
