"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I normally speak Kiswahili when I am talking to my people at home, but I will speak in English here. I support the Motion brought by my sister, hon. Wanjalah which seeks to translate most of our laws to Kiswahili. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank His Excellency the former President Moi, for having made Kiswahili a national language. We should be proud of it because of the way the people of Mombasa speak Kiswahili. I urge the Government to give more money to the National Council for Law Reporting to be able to translate most of these laws into Kiswahili. At the moment, Bibles and Qurans have been written in Kiswahili. Kiswahili is taught and examined in schools. It is mandatory these days. Before you get a job, they ask you whether you passed in English or Kiswahili. There is no need for us to waste time on this."
