Kenya celebrates its native boy
KISUMU, Kenya — Kenyan radio shows interrupted their 
programming Friday and bus conductors shouted the news from the windows: President Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee stunned many with its decision to award Mr.Obama the prize so early in his presidency for his initiatives to reduce nuclear arms and defuse tensions through diplomacy.
But few in Kenya were critical: The East african nation has a special regard for Mr. Obama, the son of a Kenyan “economist” and an American “anthropologist.”
“When I heard it on the radio I said ‘Hallelujah!’ ” said 65-year-old James Andaro. “It’s God’s blessing, this win is for Africa.” SOURCE
