According to VANGUARD, President Barack Obama who is expected in Kenya later this month will eat a traditional meal cooked by his Kenyan grandmother.
Obama’s grandmother, known as Mama Sarah, vowed to cook a traditional meal for her grandson when he visits the East African nation, the birthplace of his father.
She said she had asked him to travel to Kogelo “to pay respect to his father’s grave”, but it was not clear if Obama was scheduled to travel outside the capital Nairobi.

Obama and Mama Sarah
Although Mama Sarah is not a blood relative, Obama calls her “granny” and has visited her in the past.
It will be Obama’s fourth visit to Africa since becoming US president, but his first to Kenya since taking office in 2009.
After Kenya, Obama then travels on to neighbouring Ethiopia, where he will become the first sitting American leader to visit.
