The Kenyan government has barred unapproved contacts between the media and President-elect Barack Obama's extended family.

Family members will be required to receive permission from the government before making any public statements about their famous relative, according to the Nairobi Star.

"We are doing this because we want to ensure better flow of information," Athman Said, an under-secretary in the Ministry of Heritage, told the Obama family in Kogelo.

"The government has decided that you should inform its officers who will be based here if you want to address the media."

Journalists wishing to speak with the family must first be approved by the government.

Glad to see WND picked up the story.

Original source is allafrica.com from Nairobi Star newspaper.

WND didn’t have it on their site, when I first posted the article on FR.

"We are doing this because we want to ensure better flow of information," Athman Said, an under-secretary in the Ministry of Heritage,

Now, just why would the Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Heritage throw a gag order on Hussein the Magnificent's relatives?

Humm, Ministry of Heritage... Ministry of Heritage... Ministry of Heritage...

So when someone in Kenya speaks about Obama, does another kitten die?

How much will obamanation pay with RATS approval to Kenya to keep Kenyans mouths shut. Suspect that osamaobama’s extended african family will be millionaires at American taxpayers expense of course.

In case the Kenya relatives need to reach Cousin BHo in the next two weeks, he can be found here:

Kailuana Estate - Hawaii's Best Rentals

Located on fabulous Castle Point at Kailua Beach. This 5 bedroom, 5 1/2 bath private estate is located at the end of a private road. An enclosed yard protected on one side by the ocean and the other by the beach add to the magical seclusion of this home. This estate is an original historic Castle family home that was completely remodeled in 2005 with everything from the basics to quality furnishings, gourmet kitchen, granite, and more. The uniquely wonderful appeal of this estate is everything is done in an open air design for the ultimate island paradise.

Riiiiiiiiight.

Here is Gov (commerce secretary elect)Bill Richardson saying in Spanish that Obama is an "immigrant." (So he understands understands "immigrant" issues.)The context suggests that by "immigrant" bill richardson means "illegal immigrant"



Here in plain English is the Kenyan Ambassador saying that Obama is born in Kenya.

I would think this is by order of THE ONE to his cousin 0dinga...it is more THE ONE who does not want his extended family talking to the media, certainly not before he is sworn into office thinking then it will be too late for Americans to do anything about this and it will be his bloodless coup. I really don’t think the govt of Kenya would care a whit otherwise what the extended family may or may not say..
We are in for real trouble.
