This is why Mama Sarah Obama will continue enjoying state protection at her Siaya home despite Barack Obama having exited the White House
US 44th president stepped down on 20th January; most of the privileges his family and him used to enjoy have either been curtailed or stopped completely. Obama no longer uses Air Force One, Marine One or the Beast when he’s travelling.
As a seating US president, Obama and members of his family used to enjoy round the clock protection; he’s still under the protection of Secret Service even though the number of agents protecting him has been trimmed.
Immediately Obama ascended to power in 2008, the Kenyan government took the initiative of protecting his step-grandmother, Sarah Obama.
Guests visiting Mama Sarah’s compound in Kogelo village have to be vetted by the police before they can be allowed in.
What happens now that Barack Obama is no longer in power? Siaya County Administration Police Commandant, Ben Abuga, was quoted by Standard Digital as saying that Obama’s grandmother would retain the security attached to her Kogelo home unless his bosses ordered him to redeploy the officers.
