Emilio Mwai Kabaki, the current President of Kenya, today denied having been born in the United States. The dispute regarding his eligibility to hold this African country's highest office mirrors that which President Obama faces in the USA.
Kabaki, who claims to have been born in Kenya November 15, 1931, has defied attempts by "birthers" to have him release his birth certificate. Saying that it was lost during the Mau Mau uprisings that took place in the 1950's, he said that they would "just have to take his word for it."
Although admitting that it was a coincidence that two Kenyans are currently being accused of being born in a country that they are not president of, he said that he would gladly exchange jobs with Barack Obama if that would straighten things out.
"Life," he said philosophically, "is too short for me to loot Kenya's treasury when I could be looting the United State's treasury."
