Colonial Office Report On The Colony And Protectorate of Kenya For The Year 1961. Lucas Daniel Smith & Br… by Lucas Daniel Smith

On October 22, 2011 we published a report here at WOBIK entitled Stanley Ann Dunham goes to Kenya.

The report featured a snapshot taken from the film White Mischief in which actress Greta Scacchi plays Diana Lady Broughton, sexually mischievous white British woman who is visting Kenya circa the year 1940.  We compared and likened British Diana Lady Broughton to American Ann Dunham who arrived in Kenya approximately 20 years later.

Dr. Conspiracy (Kevin Wayne Davidson) publish (March 22, 2012) an article, Born in Africa myth crushed under weight of its complexity, in which he asserts that from June 1961 thru June 1962 (note: Obama was born in August 1961) that only 1 (one) person flew (traveled by air) from Kenya to the United States.  Morever, than one person what an Alien (i.e., non US Citizen).  Another 20 persons (13 Aliens, 7 US Citizens) traveled from Kenya to the United States by sea.  The purported 1962 US Government document is attached below for review:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The problem with the foregoing numbers is that the British Government indicates the in the year 1961 that 6792 Americans visted British East Africa (i.e., Kenya, Tanganyika, Uganda and Zanzibar):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is exceedingly challenging and problematic to conclude that out of those 6792 Americans that only only one (1) of them returned to the United Statea of America by air and twenty (20) of them by sea.

Furtermore, the porportion of stay in Kenya, Tanganyika, Uganda and Zanzibar indicates that in 1961 that 67% of all vistors were traveling to Kenya while only approximately 21% traveled to Tanganyika, 10% to Uganda and approximately 1% to Zanzibar.  (Also please note the reference to passengers arriving in Mombasa by ship (i.e., by sea) and the immense amount (£378,277)  of tourist trade revenue created by those passengers):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Below I have attached pages 97 thru 101 (“Tourist Trade” segment) of the Colonial Office Report On The Colony And Protectorate of Kenya For The Year 1961 (the entire report is embedded near the head of this blog report via a 242 page Patriot1980 scribd.com upload):

Could Stanley Ann Dunham have made telephone calls from Kenya, to the U.S.A., in 1961?

The Colonial Office Report On The Colony And Protectorate of Kenya For The Year 1961 indicates (on pages 85 thru 87, “Telecommunications and Postal Services” segment, which is attached below) that increased use was made of the telephone in 1961, compared with the previous year and among exchanges converted to automatic working in East Africa during 1961 was one at Shanzu, on the Kenya Coast.  Shanzu is located in the Mombasa District.  Shanzu is approximately 11.5 miles from central Mombasa.

International telephone service traffic continued to grow in 1961 and nearly 10,000 calls were made from East Africa that year.  The service was extended to the West Indies and Ruanda Urundi and was improved by the opening of direct links to Pakistan and Malaya.

Also available in Kenya at the time was radiocall service which enabled subscribers who lived or worked in remote areas not serviced by telephone lines to communicate by means of high frequency radio with control stations which could extend calls to telephone subscribers anywhere is East Africa and also undertake the reception and transmission of telegrams.

Could Stanley Ann Dunham have sent telegrams from Kenya, to the U.S.A., in 1961?

The Colonial Office Report On The Colony And Protectorate of Kenya For The Year 1961 indicates (on pages 85 thru 87, “Telecommunications and Postal Services” segment, which is attached below) that approximately 622, 300 foreign telegrams were handled during that year in East Africa.

Also, the previous year (1960), the International Telex service had extended externally to the Western Union System of the U.S.A., Ruanda Urundi, Brazil, India, the Commercial Company System of the U.S.A., Iran, Argentina, Canada and Finland. Telex service was a fully automatic teleprinter switching system, which enabled subscribers to call each other at any time of day or night and to communicate in print.  Calls could be made to telex subscribers in other countries.  A total of 3,625 international, and 1,862 locals calls, were made using the International Telex service in Kenya for the year 1961.
