    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. When you look at the Asian Tigers’ development record and their local languages, it seems that there is a correlation between their languages and their level of development. This is because the people understand their laws and languages. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in this country wherever there is a sign in English there should be a sign in Kiswahili that will make people understand it better. I agree that it is good for Kenyans to be innovative and creative as far as this issue of language is concerned. When it comes to agreements - in as much as my colleague has spoken about the courts of law where people might have been put behind bars for not understanding what was happening, there are so many people who have lost their property because they could not understand what the agreements said because they were written in English. Perhaps, if they were written in Kiswahili they might have gotten the concept. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, because of time and I have heard my colleague, let me stop there. I support the Motion."
