AFTER INDEPENDENCE, MANY OF THE BEST JOBS IN GOVERNMENT WENT TO PEOPLE IN THE KIKUKU TRIBE (THE LARGEST TRIBE IN KENYA). THE OBAMAS WERE FROM THE LUO TRIBE. BARACK’S FATHER SPOKE OUT, SAYING THE BEST JOBS SHOULD GO TO THE BEST PEOPLE—NO MATTER WHAT TRIBE THEY WERE FROM. THE NEW PRESIDENT, JOMO KENYATTA, DID NOT LIKE THIS. HE SAW TO IT THAT BARACK’S FATHER HAD TROUBLE FINDING ANY JOB IN KENYA. ALL THIS HAPPENED IN THE YEARS BEFORE HE VISITED YOUNG BARRY IN HAWAII.
