The Kenyan government has blocked members of President-elect Barack Obama's extended family from talking to the media.

Www.allafrica.com reports that the Kenyan government told family members that they would have to ask for official permission before issuing any statement concerning Obama. It said the government would also vet all those seeking information about the family.

"We are doing this because we want to ensure better flow of information. The government has decided that you should inform its officers who will be based here if you want to address the media," Athman Said, an Under-Secretary in the Ministry of Heritage, told the Obama family in Kogelo on Thursday.

A proposed Obama Cultural Home, comprising a museum, a gallery, a library and a leadership centre would be put up in Kogelo, Said told the family. A cultural officer, Dorcas Obege, will also be assigned to Kogelo to vet visitors and others seeking information about the family.

“All the necessary information and copies of documents has already been acquired.”

Which necessary information and copies of documents are you referring to? I assume one would be Obama’s b.c. And may I ask who you are referring to that has acquired these necessary pieces of information?

What are they afraid of? They are afraid that the truth about Barack Hussein Obama will slip out, and that would cause them to fear the wrath of Obama and Odinga.

Ahh. And keep your eye on U.S. aid to Kenya in the near future. It’s taking a big payoff to get them to cooperate in the cover up.

Nah, and miss out on all the fun? I said I was done arguing with you birther loons. However, I reserve the right to snarky drive-by posts.

Have a nice day!
