of Kenya!!
The recent overwhelming election victory of the US President-elect Barrack Obama jnr who has a family root and background in Western Kenya is a “Big Blessing” and is likely to have a significant economic impact in the region.
The tiny semi-bushy and dust Kogelo village, which is located about ten kilometers in the south east of Siaya town has become the behest of intensive business activities in the recent past. The village is frequented by businessmen, especially those involved in the tourist operation, hoteliers and others. Apart from businessmen, the village is witnessing the trooping of a battery of journalists from both locally and internationally.
The proposed Museum, which will accommodate the history of the Obama family background is also to be stocked with the artifacts and works of the late Barrack Obama snr, the father of the US President Elect.
The Minister said the government and other players in the tourism industry in Kenyan are expecting the number of American tourists to rise by between 10 to 15 per cent due to the Obama effect.
Anamoh appealed to the Kenya government to establish an international conference centre at Kogelo alongside the Museum to serve as the last monument of the victory of the first African American to the presidency of the World most powerful nation on the earth.
Man this is GREAT!! I am booking my flight as soon as it’s done!! NOT!
I wonder when Chicago will start raising funds for the Obama presidential library???
Thanks

Everywhere I go here I see little tables set up in the streets with huge,cheap buttons of Obama being sold. They are also selling T-shirts. I don’t remember anyone selling buttons of Clinton or Bush. All vendors need licences to sell stuff in the streets of San Francisco,but none of these guys have them. Gee,I wonder why.

Take Care, mailloux
