That said, s/he is correct that there appear to be no microfiche records of Kenyan births listed. The closest thing appears to be this book:

A guide to the Kenya National Archives : to the microfilms of the provincial and district annual reports, record books, and handing-over reports, miscellaneous correspondence, and intelligence reports Gregory, Robert G.
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=topicdetails&subject=533383&subject_disp=Kenya+-+Archives+and+libraries&columns=*,0,0

So perhaps AlbertaChild was given incorrect information by someone who confused this book with the microfilms themselves etc.

Browardchad has exaggerated how little is available regarding Kenya:

Thanks for looking at it. Even if it turns out the microfiche is not available in Salt Lake City, there are copies of the British Colonial records in other locations, presumably as well as in London. And original records may still be available in Kenya.

You are dealing with an opponent with significant resources and support on the ground with the capacity to scrub inconvenient records however my experience in life is that records like this tend to work their way around because there is a wide geographical distribution of persons who have a legitimate interest in the subject.

Obviously you would have more success with a professional investigator.

FWIW, under Historical Records, ancestry.com lists no matches for Barack Obama or Barack Dunham in any Canadian provinces in 1961.

Likewise, the only Historical Record for Stanley Dunham in Hawaii during period 1942-1995 is her SSN Death record. There is no listing of any marriages, but my impression is that ancestry.com maintains no databases that would contain this info, so its absence proves little.

I quick-checked a number of the family trees posted that include Stanley Ann Dunham, but none of them contain any marriage date records for either her marriage to Obama or Soetoro.

Thanks for the heads-up, LucyT.

I don't know where anyone got the information that I had posted any information related to research on Barack Obama's birth certificate or anything of that sort. It sounds like someone did a thorough job on this, but it certainly wasn't me!

Cheers.
