Former US president Barack Obama’s grandmother Sarah Obama is set to retain state protection even after her grandson ceased to be president last week, Kenya’s Standard newspaper reported on Monday. The Standard quoted the county’s Administration Police Commandant as saying that Sarah would continue to enjoy 24-hour police protection.
“Her home in Kogelo, Siaya County, will remain a protected area and those seeking to visit will continue to be vetted by police stationed outside her compound,” the report said.
Her home was secured after Obama won the US presidency in 2008.
