Interesting connection, from your Airlift to America Org link,

The advisers to the Kennedy Foundation arrive in Nairobi to review the airlift operations. Back row, left to right: Albert Sims, Institute of International Education; Gordon Hagberg, African-American Institute; Theodore Kheel, secretary-treasurer of AASF. Front row, left to right : an unidentified man, Dr. Aaron Brown of the Phelps Stokes Fund, Tom Mboya, and Father Gordon Fournier of the Foundation for All Africa (1960).

...Their cook was Hussein Onyango Obama, none other than the paternal grandfather of President Obama. Gloria recalls the times Hussein’s son, the youthful student Barack Obama Sr, would visit their house, announcing: “I’ve come to see the old man!”

Although the young Obama Sr. left for the University of Hawaii before the first formal student airlift, he did maintain his friendship with the Hagbergs when he returned to Kenya.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN INSTITUTE. GORDON HAGBERG. The very same Institute referrenced by David Horowitz in the book THE ROCKEFELLERS. In which David notes that the AFRICAN-AMERICAN INSTITUTE was instrumental in bringing several thousands of foreign students, many from Africa, to the US -IN THE EARLY FIFTIES.

So if anyone would know WHEN the son of THEIR COOK, Hussein Onyango Obama left Kenya, one might ask GORDON AND GLORIA HAGBERG.

very interesting, BUT...From your source:

"In 1935, she married Cornell University graduate Gordon Hagberg, a newspaperman born in India of missionary parents.

With the intensification of the Cold War, America began expanding cultural programmes in many of the world’s emerging nations.

Having always wanted to return to India, in 1950 Gordon got a job in the United States Information Service (USIS) and the couple spent two years in Madras.

It seemed almost fated that their next overseas assignment with USIS would bring them to East Africa, as Gordon’s parents had met in Lamu and married in Zanzibar.

In 1956, when the Hagbergs arrived in Nairobi, the Emergency was in its last two years."

Assuming BHO, Sr left Africa earlier than 1959 (AND earlier than 1956 according to his statement, the time line doesn't work.

On the other hand, that doesn't mean they may not be in possession of some useful information.
