The Government has declared a public holiday on Thursday to celebrate the election of Barack Obama as the 44th president of the US.
Even as the President made the declaration, Kenyans had already started to celebrate Obama’s victory with song and dance breaking out in Kibera, Nairobi and Kogelo, the US President-elect ancestral home as soon as US media projected the Democrat’s victory.
President Kibaki has announced that Kenyans will take a day off to mark the historic election of Obama to the most powerful office on earth.
