Malcolm X was in Egypt, Syria and Ghana in 1959 as is stated in the Malcolm X timeline and in the FBI files.(He was also supposed to go to Mecca but said he had taken ill and was unable to go) He met Tom Mboya in 1959 in Ghana, and in the one article which I provided a link for you will notice it mentions that Tom Mboya and the leader of Ghana were good friends. According to the FBI files Malcolm X wasn’t in Kenya, I went through them page by page from late 1958 through to early 1963, and the FBI kept extremely close tabs on Malcolm X.
As mentioned in this timeline here are the countries Malcolm X went to when he went abroad in July of 1959.

So now we have Moboya in Ghana and Kenya in 1959. You say Malcolm X was never in Kenya, but he was in Ghana. So we appear to overcome the hurdle - IF THEY MET THEY COULD HAVE MET IN EITHER COUNTRY.

Correct?

Next question. Either Kenya or Ghana, Obama Snr might very well have been there, with Moboya?

On both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, black leaders recognized the need for aid to African education. With the encouragement of American civil rights leaders such as A. Philip Randolph, the Kenyan Tom Mboya organized the African-American Students Foundation (aasf), which awarded Kenyan students scholarships for study in the United States. This photograph shows the Kenyan students arriving at Idlewild Airport in New York in September 1959 as participants in the first “African Airlift.” Courtesy Library of Congress, Manuscript Division, Jackie Robinson Papers.
