After claiming to have traced his roots to Turkana, famed former neuro-surgeon and U.S. Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson will tour Kenya towards the end of this month. It will be part of his 5-day African tour as he seeks to reconnect to his roots. The controversial public figure recently revealed that his Ancestors were from the Turkana tribe.

"...I'm going to those three countries in particular because my ancestors are from the Kenya-Tanzania region, the Turkana tribe. I’ve had all of that traced back," he said in a interview with Salem Radio Network's Hugh Lewitt on Monday.

Carson, who recently toured Syria to get a first-hand feel of the refugee situation in the Middle East region, also plans to visit Nigeria and Zambia.

"I want to get an idea from the people what the effects of the Boko Haram are, what people are thinking, to see what the economic situation is there," Carson revealed. For Zambia, he will go to see the famous Banda Twins, who he helped separate.

"We separated them. They were joined at the top of the head facing in opposite directions almost 18 years ago and this is the year they graduate from high school,' he said. The tour will begin on December 27th. Listen to the audio on .
