    "content": "THAT, noting that Article 7, Sub article 2 of the Constitution recognizes Kiswahili and English as the official languages of the Republic of Kenya; aware that this position will adequately address ethnic disharmony in public offices if implemented to the letter; appreciating that Article 7, sub-section 3 of the Constitution requires the state to promote the diversity of language of the people of Kenya; concerned that the use of indigenous languages in public offices and national institutions is a major contributor to disharmony, suspicion and discomfort in public offices in the country, this House urges the Government to ban the use of indigenous languages in all public offices except by Government field officers at the level of sub-locations and locations in public barazas where it is expected that nearly all of the audiences understand the local language used."
