* Former US President Barack Obama is set to visit Kenya on 16 July. The one-day visit will see him hold talks with President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House, Nairobi, before travelling to his ancestral home of K'Ogelo to visit his relatives. He will then proceed to South Africa where he will deliver the annual Nelson Mandela lecture the next day. It will be his first visit to Kenya since he left office last year.
