if you read the pdf linked, you will find there are two columns - the cut and paste presented skips one side, therefor the sentence makes no sense...this is what was written:

Nairobi Star, December 11, 2008 The government has blocked Kenyan members of President-elect Barrack Obama’s extended family from talking to the media.
Family members will have to ask permission from government before issuing making any statement concerning Obama.
