President Obama can have a home-cooked meal this month in Kenya if he
chooses. The president's Kenyan grandmother, known as Mama Sarah, is
offering Obama a traditional meal that includes fish, chicken and maize
porridge when he visits the East African nation in July.
"It does not matter whether Barack is a senator or a president," Mama
Sarah told the AFP news service. "He will have what I have prepared for
him."It's uncertain, however, whether Obama will visit his father's
ancestral village during a presidential trip to Kenya and Ethiopia.
"Mama Sarah was the third wife of US president's paternal grandfather,
Hussein Onyango Obama, and lives in the small village of Kogelo in
western Kenya which is home to a number of the president's relatives.
"Obama's late father was born in Kogelo and grew up there before
traveling abroad to study, where he met Obama's American mother in
Hawaii.
"Although Mama Sarah is not a blood relative, Obama calls her "granny"
and has visited her in the past.""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.
