The Government wants to pay Sh78 million it owes relatives of deceased persons who worked as civil servants.

The next of kin of the deceased civil servants have been asked to contact the Public Trustee to assist in processing payments.

In an advert placed in the local dailies, the Public Trustee office indicated there were 301 deceased persons whose dues had not been collected.

The dues, dating back to 1979 and 2005, included the name of Barack Obama, father of US Senator, Mr Barack Obama, whose dues have not been collected since 1983.

Most of the relatives of the deceased do not know where to seek help and the money ends up accumulating.

"We have been holding this money for so long and treasury has nothing to do with it. Most of the people do not know that we owe them the money," said the Public Trustee, Eunice Sawe on the phone.

The principal sum of the money owed is given and calculated at an interest rate pegged on the Treasury Bill rates.

A similar advert was run last year but few people claimed the money.

Meanwhile, US Senator Barack Obama’s family may benefit from compensation from the Government following the death of his father in a road accident over 20 years ago.

Family spokesman, Mr Said Obama, told The Standard that the Government had never compensated the family since Barack Hussein Obama died in 1983.

"My brother passed away and left five dependants, including the Senator and his sixth child passed away a few years later," Said said.

Does it bother anyone that Barak's middle name same as Sadam "Hussein"? And Barak is a former Muslim who went to "Medrassa" in Jakarta?

Wow! Obama is is in good company if he hold on to the 'Happy Warrior" tag. The original 'Happy Warrior' was Al Smith--a Catholic, populist, immigrant-heritaged Governor of New York who fell to anti-Catholic sentiment in the Presidential race of 1928. He was upbeat and beloved by many as the epitome of the American melting pot. He gave FDR many of his reformist ideas, which later became a huge chunk of the New Deal. He motivated millions of voters to turn Democrat, even though he lost in 1928. Many people say that any Democrat could have won in 1932, with the country blaming Hoover for the depression. But some will tell you that even if the economy had been strong, the Democrats could have pulled it off, because of the groundwork laid by the 'Happy Warrior'. I read months ago that Obama and his people were studying the campaigns of Ronald Reagan for tips and inspiration. Add the spirit of Al Smith to the Gipper's, and this guy Obama might have something special.

First, in response to Mr. Said Shafik, Obama was never Muslim; he went through a non-religious period in his youth but found a church in Chicago that he liked and got a renewed faith in Christianity. He also never went to Medrassa in Jakarta. He spent some of his youth in a school for boys overseas, but it was not the militant Islamic school that you claim. That whole story was perpetrated and perpetuated by Fox News way back at the beginning of the campaign. The fact that this story has lasted this long is a little shocking.

As for the Al Smith referrence, that's just one more reason that Obama might actually be able to create the change he's promised, and why so many have crossed party lines to support him. I also like the line about walking into the white house with a smile on his face. Just know, I'll be smiling right along with him.

First, I did not get the information from Foxnews. The information is all over the internet. My goal for gathering the information was to know more about Barak not to trash him. Check here to find more about the Islamic school he attended, though attending Islamic school is not a crime until proven it teaches hate. I am just trying to unterdstand how a president (when Barak is elected) will act on any issue having such mixed background.

REGARDING THE NEW HAMPSHIRE DEBATES:
CAN DAVID WRIGHT EXPLAIN WHY ONLY THE REPUBLICANS WERE ADDRESSED WITH THE QUESTION ABOUT THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT PROBLEM? DID THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDITATES ASK PRIOR TO THE DEBATE NOT TO BE ASKED ABOUT "ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION" AND WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

It isn't that it is all over the internet -- it comes in the form of an e-mail and it also shows the picture where Obama does not have his Hand over Heart -- but neglects to say that it is because they are singing American the Beautiful not the Pledge of Allegiance -- what I did was sent my response to not only the person who sent it but all of the people before them explaining exactly what I new to be false -- the comments I have received in returned are cute and fun -- in essence they say I should be on the campaign trail too!! It is false and should be put down but between Fox Noise and Rove somewhere in a closet -- they do make the rounds a second or third time -- just treat them as they should be JUNK MAIL.

Hillary is being treated just anyhow because she’s a minority. But still, REMEMBER, she didn’t choose to not be a man. Hillary is an intelligent woman who has laid out every excellent detail of her plan for this nation. If not for her being a woman, she would be zipping toward the white house. INDEPENDENTS, if there’s anyone you can vote for, make it Hillary.

It is a bit worrisome that both of his fathers were Muslims. We don't really know if he started to go to a Christian church because he decided to go into politics. But I do not think the Muslim fanatics who hate infidels will like him very much. He will sdaw negative attention on that front for sure from the fanatical Islamists.

Dear Said Shafik,

I'm posting from Jakarta, probably same as the rest of the world, we are expecting a change in America - a stronger America - so far, i personally see Obama has the potential to bring a better chapter for the country (hopefully for the world)

To make it short, come to Jakarta and I will show you his ex-schools (and not madrassa), ok ?

Oh, the INTERNET! Well, it must be true.

The "independents" true problem with Hillary is adding yet another chapter to the Bush/Clinton/Bush saga. This is the USA, not Czarist Russia. We should be a better nation than to continue with this kind of nepotism. 100-million families run by two? Sorry Hillary: We can't all be President.

we're all hoping the best man or woman wins, but it's also where they are in the world and what 'they' are looking for too! how many leaders in the free world and not free world have a 'muslim following'? we have to be Very careful that they don't identify them for their 'beliefs'! we worry... men challenge and so do countries with "self-proclaimed leaders"...is it advantageous to have different faiths represented or could it be a hinderence and a threat to our way of life..something to consider a the next stop..
