Surprisingly from CNN
George Obama, the half-brother of U.S. President Barack Obama, has been arrested by Kenyan police on a charge of possession of marijuana, police said Saturday.
Inspector Augustine Mutembei, the officer in charge, said Obama was arrested on charges of possession of cannabis, known in Kenya as Bhang, and resisting arrest. He is scheduled to appear in court Monday, Mutembei said.
He is being held at Huruma police post in the capital of Nairobi.
And lest not forget Obama’s own words about his own drug use:
"Junkie. Pothead. . . . I got high [to] push questions of who I was out of my mind." –LINK

Hope he’s not Execu………wait……..I’ll go look up the penalty in Kenya first….
I have no idea what Kenyen laws are like
phxg (Diary) Sunday, February 1st at 12:01AM EST (link)But the nation does seem to be all about law and order. And considering how lawless the most of Africa is, I suspect it’s relatively heavy handed to keep the population in order.

OK, so Barack's half brother was high this week...
6eorge Jetson (Diary) Saturday, January 31st at 11:09PM EST (link)What’s Barack’s excuse?
Kenyan police must be racist then?
Rod_Patrick (Diary) Sunday, February 1st at 4:32PM EST (link)Or is it CNN which committed racism against Obama.
Don’t worry. Obama will call the President of his native (?) country and call the Kenyan Government to legalize Marijuana.
Or else…. no more financial aids.
But. but, but…… Does Obama really care about his half-brother? I doubt.
