The Kenyan government has barred unapproved contacts between the media and President-elect 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.
about the end of impeachment hearings on bill clinton i his elector check my fingerprints in arkansas. I worked in telecommunication for a united nations logistic officer on travel arrangement from out of rwanda to new york. The interesting part of calls from united states to countries across the atlantic i was tap (offen called backtap) in such when conversation is complete a delay in reconfiguration happy a tap open wanted routing through kenya before on to new york. A corpus push to silent of kenya travel from rwanda while genocide investigation in process, a gag order is proof his travels from rwanda did exist while in genocide. The routing is protected as evidence in usca dcc 085399 and i the prosecutor did not order a gag order through mandamus.
Heritage minister William Ole Ntimama confirmed that the government had decided to make Obama's fathers home in Kogelo , Siaya district into a national heritage site.
"This is a great opportunity to open up the western tourism circuit and we have asked Treasury to find us some money so that we can roll out a number of projects that will make this a truly memorable cultural site," said Ntimama.
He however expressed surprise at the veto on the family talking to the media. "I am not aware of that ban because my officers have not told me about it. It will be surprising if they have done that because it is not right. The Obama family should be allowed to say whatever they want to without any bureaucracy," said Ntimama.

that is correct on famlies able to talk without censorship the united states is founded of no law for or against freedom to speech the only time a gag would come in if personam is more powerful then press.
Why did the SCOTUS refer the case to the full court then? The case had to have merit AND at least four Justices were required to move it to the full court. Can you explain why the case was referred to the full court if you are correct? You can't!
I know I'm late on this, but having dead electricity for 10 days will do that to you.
And none of the responses included my comment, so I don't feel totally absurd.
The section in red? That part deals with its going to a full hearing, not to a distribution to the full court prior to an appearance on the Conference List.
Why do you come here and post the same message in 3 threads already, people have been banned for less than that.
