Actually it is different. Because Kenya has a parliamentary system, Government Ministers are also members of Parliament. Thus he was speaking as both an MP and member of "the Government". So it's more akin to the director of the INS testifying before Congress. But not exactly. Still definitely "on the record". And no one challenged or corrected the statement at the time or soon afterwards, as far as I know.
What is confusing about ‘On the Record’ to you.
The official government record of the session held, has stated by various members the birth of Barack Hussein Obama. The son of the soil of Kenya.
No one has to correct, what is the truth.
As I have maintained ‘IF’ there was a valid and authentic Birth Certificate for Barack Hussein Obama in Hawaii, that would have been produced long ago.
