]]> US President Barack Obama will visit Kenya mid-year. It’s the first time he’s going to the home of his father as US leader.

The Washington announcement says he’ll will attend a summit to encourage entrepreneurship and meet the country’s controversial leader Uhuru Kenyatta.

Barak Obama’s been to sub-Saharan Africa four times in his two terms as US President.

Political scandal has stopped him visiting Kenya where late father was born in a small village near the shores of Lake Victoria.

Obama was born in Hawaii of his father’s union with a white woman.

His parents divorced.

For much of Obama’s time at the US helm, Kenya’s president Uhuru Kenyatta was under investigation by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

The charges of crimes against humanity for his alleged role in 2007-08 post-election violence were dropped last December.
