Unfortunately, Barack Sr would die in 1982, before his American-based son, Obama Jr, made his first trip to Kenya.When Obama Jr visited Kenya, it was Kezia who received him at the airport.

She first met the man who will subsequently become America’s first black president 20 years ago when he (Obama) visited the family compound in Alego, north-western Kenya.
They have been meeting each other in America and Bracknell, Kenya, where Kezia moved to join her daughter, Auma - Barack’s elder half sister.

Barack Jr’s mother, Ann Dunham visited Kenya when Obama Sr died. She met her co-wife, Kezia and they both became great friends.Since then, the Obamas have formed an extraordinary bond, despite their unstable family history and cultural and geographic differences.


Bracknell isn’t in Kenya. But zero and Michelle did attend the marriage of Auma to Ian Manners in the UK. And it looks like both Stanley Ann Dunham and zero showed up in Kenya in 1983 after the old man died in November 1982.

So it wasn’t zero who was the Barack Obama reported to have attended the funeral. Zero came later, and cried some crocodile tears at the grave.

I’m still looking for the article which talks about who attended the funeral. It was said ‘He came and left quietly.’

Here's one reference, though not the one I was looking for:

cashill.com

"...For instance, the same Granny that Meacham quotes unquestioningly on family resemblance, he dismisses when she tells him that young Barry Obama attended the Senior Obama’s funeral.

“Obama did not attend his father's burial,” writes Meacham. “He came to Kenya only in 1987, on a journey, perhaps, to metaphorically bury Senior—or "the Old Man," as others in the family called him.”...

See two paragraphs above LITTLE NOTICE
