George Obama, half-brother of President Barack Obama, has been arrested and charged him with marijuana possession.
This is the same half-brother who several months ago was found to be living in a small shack in the slums of Nairobi. At the time, he said his annual income was less than $20.
The officer in charge of the investigation said Obama was arrested on charges of possession of cannabis (or “bhang” as its known in Kenya) and resisting arrest. He is scheduled to arraigned on Monday.
“They took me from my home,” he said from his jail cell, “I don’t know why they are charging me.”
“If Timothy Geithner can cheat on his taxes and become Secretary of the Treasury,” George could have said, “this should qualify me to become head of the Drug Enforcement Administration. I can start as soon as the trial is over.”
