There is no series dedicated to life events of British subjects in foreign countries, as there is no legislation or requirement for the British Government to record these events. Use of Foreign churches to record events is common, and there is no requirement for those authorities to return copies of the registers to England. Although an example is the Miscellaneous Foreign Returns where some foreign Authorities have returned copies of their records relating to British subjects.
Records of former Colonial administrations will normally remain within the country, they were not returned to United Kingdom. If this was a foreign country where the Foreign Office was involved, such as Germany, Columbia or Ecuador, then a Consular Register may have been kept, and this would have been returned.
The National Archives holds copies of births from the East Africa Protectorate, including Kenya in TNA Ref: RG 36. These records date from 1911-1923, and are available to search and download for a fee from www.bmdregsiters.co.uk; a search using the key word ‘Obama’ does not return any results
Records relating to births of British subjects in British Protectorates and Colonies remain in the country of origin and would not be returned to either the Foreign Office, Colonial Office or the General Register Office.
The National Archives does hold Colonial Office Original Correspondence (TNA Ref: CO 533) for Kenya, this contains various Acts and Legislation relating to births and deaths in Kenya prior to independence.

Be that as it may, this birther controversy didn't pop up out of thin air.
