Nairobi, April 15 -- A diplomatic row between Kenya and the United Kingdom leading to travel restrictions from both nations is likely to deny the larger Obama family an opportunity to give Mama Grace Keziah Aoko Obama, who passed on Tuesday, a befitting burial ceremony.

Two weeks after burying Mama Sarah Obama, the family is mourning the death of yet another matriarch - Mama Keziah, who is the mother of Malik, Auma, Bernard Sadik and Mustapha Abo, who was with her when she passed on at 78 years of age.

According to Malik, the family got information about the death of the matriarch from London. She died on Tuesday evening after a long battle with diabetes. The family also attributes her demise to old age.
