Kenyan Ambassador to the United States Admits Obama Born In Kenya

Kenyan Ambassador Peter Nicholas Rateng’ Oginga Ogego appears to be finding himself in hot water both in Washington and in Kenya. However, that hot water is not due to his on-air comments to Detroit’s WRIF FM 101 “Mike in the Morning” program regarding Barack Obama’s Kenyan birthplace, the hot water is due to Ambassador Ogego’s stinging criticism of Senator Barack Obama before Mr. Peter Oginga Ogego officially became Kenya’s Ambassador to the United States on 5 September 2006 and two years prior to Barack Obama’s apparent victory in the U.S. Presidential election.

Mr. Ogego’s criticism of Senator Obama was as follows according to the Kenyan Daily Nation newspaper:
“You deliberately, without real cause or reason, other than what appears to be to seek cheap publicity and inconsequential populism, chose to publicly attack the democratically elected Government of Kenya, in total disregard for the requisite protocol and acceptable methods to address the issues you raised, what with programmed appointments to meet Cabinet ministers and even the Head of State, since your visit was official.”

In 2006, speaking as a Kenyan citizen Mr. Ogego was rightfully incensed at Barack Obama’s insertion of himself into Kenyan politics as well as Barack Obama’s uncalled for attack on the democratically elected Government of Kenya during an official visit to the country. This blatant interference in Kenyan politics occured when Barack Obama was in Kenya to campaign and provide financial support to his cousin, Raila Odinga, prior to the violence which was deliberately set in motion by the Odinga camp when he lost the election. Violence we have detailed in this blog previously. Keep an eye on Ambassador Ogego, this is not over by a long shot. For the record, Ambassador Ogego’s diplomatic portfolio is HERE.

22 NOVEMBER 2008: During a recent program aired on Detroit’s WRIF 101 FM “Mike in the Morning” radio program a decision was made to make a phone call to the Kenyan Embassy in Washington D.C. for the obvious purpose of having a little fun and in order to congratulate Kenyan’s on the occassion of Barack Obama’s election.

During the course of the call Mike and his co-host Trudy were connected to the Ambassador’s office and after a short conversation with a secretary the Ambassador, His Excellency Peter OGEGO, pictured below, picked up the call.

At approximately 12:30 into the MP3 recording another of Mike’s co-hosts asks Ambassador, “President-elect Obama’s birthplace over in Kenya, is that going to be a national spot to go visit, where he was born?”

Ambassador Ogego responds, “It’s, um, already an attraction. His, his, uh, pateral grandmother is still alive…”

The questioner then interjects, “But his birthplace, they’ll put up a marker there?”

Ambassador Ogego responds, “It depends on the government, it’s already well known.”

Kenyan Ambassador Peter Ogego just annouced to the whole world on live radio that our assumed President-elect Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya, his birthplace is already an attraction, and placing a marker is up to the Kenyan government, but the location is already well known, intimating the the location does not need anything further to distinguish it.
This admission is a confirmation of the multiple statements made by Obama’s paternal grandmother, referenced by Ambassador Ogego, about Obama’s Kenyan birthplace.
