Kenyans celebrate "one of their own"

HIS HOMECOMING ?

"For the past four years Kenyans have been enthralled by the meteoric rise of a politician born to one of their own.

Ever since he was propelled into the limelight at the 2004 Democratic Convention they have followed every up and up of his career as the embodiment of the American dream.

His homecoming two years ago brought hundreds of thousands of people on to the streets of Kisumu, about an hour from his family home, as everyone tried to join in his success."
