In Kogelo, the rural birthplace of his father Obama said that more needed to be done to face challenges such as corruption.

Obama went to Kogelo to launch a sports and training center founded by his half-sister, Auma Obama.

Kenyans arrived in his ancestral home in Siaya County to see Obama but many could not get into the place because of the high security.
