 Obama visits ancestral village in Kenya


KOGELO, Kenya 16 Jul (ANA) - Former US president Barack Obama has visited his ancestral village of Kogelo in western Kenya after 12 years.

He last visited his ancestral village in 2006 when he was a US senator.

Mr Obama arrived in the country on Saturday and is set to inaugurate a youth project run by his sister.

Known as the Sauti Kuu Foundation, it will be a sports facility and vocational training centre.

The former US president made a low key arrival to the East African nation compared to his visit in 2015 when he was still in office.

He met Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta on Sunday.(ANA)
