As far as I know, that article is a Photoshop fake. Unless you have a direct link to the site where it came from.

Kenyan official: Obama born here
WorldNetDaily ^ | APRIL 11, 2010 | Drew Zahn / FR Posted by RobinMasters

A Kenyan lawmaker told the nation's Parliament last month that Barack Obama was born in Africa and is therefore "not even a native American."

During debate over the draft of a new Kenyan constitution, James Orengo, the country's minister of lands and a member of parliament for the Ugenya constituency, cited America's election of a Kenyan-born president as an example of what can be accomplished when diverse peoples unite:

"If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity and did not see itself as a multiparty state or nation," Orengo posited, "how could a young man born here in Kenya, who is not even a native American, become the president of America?"

Orengo held up the U.S. as a country no longer "living in the past," since Americans elected a Kenyan-born president without regard to "ethnic consideration and objectives."

Debate is then recorded in the Kenyan government's official March 25, 2010, hansard – a traditional name for printed transcripts of a parliamentary debate – as continuing with no other MPs mentioning or attempting to correct Orengo's comments about Obama. (Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...

The article in question is not a Photoshop, since I’ve seen it personally via a link.

HOWEVER, the attribution is probably Photoshopped; it was not published in a Chicago newspaper, or not even an American paper. I saw that exact article with the picture, text, and everything on a webpage of an African publication.

If I remember correctly, the African page had “AP” on it, and lots of people mistook it for “Associated Press”, but the “A” stood for African, and I can’t remember what the “P” stood for.
