Witch doctor who predicted Obama's presidency insists he knows his program

Despite the US embassy saying president Barrack Obama will snub his ancestral village Kogelo in Kenya, a Kenyan witch doctor who predicted he will be president on the USA insists that the most powerful man in the world will definitely visit the village.

"The results indicate that Obama will come to Kogelo," Dimo told a circle of residents this month as they cheered with excitement at the prospect of a presidential visit as they watched his fortune telling ritual. "It's a big secret, and he need not tell anybody that he will be visiting his ancestral home."

Dimo added that the communication from the embassy was due to security concerns.

Kogelo is the home of Ms Sarah Obama, 95, Obama's step-grandmother, and the burial place of Barack Obama Sr., his father. Obama is scheduled to attend the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in the capital of Nairobi this week.
