Obama's coming shouldn't occasion lockdown in Nairobi

The first ever Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Sub-Saharan Africa comes to Nairobi from July 24-25. The summit will be held at the United Nations Gigiri offices with expected attendance of at least 2,000 delegates. US President Barack Obama is among the dignitaries expected to attend.
