    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I support this Motion. I acknowledge Mhe. Wanjalah for this wonderful Motion. Kenya is a multilingual society. We have 42 languages, but what unites us is one language that is Kiswahili. Therefore, I believe that once this Constitution is translated into Kiswahili, we will be moving towards the unity of a nation. We are doing well in terms of Kiswahili being spread around so that Kenyans can speak it. Already, we have many books that are translated into Kiswahili. It is not only the Bible but dictionaries as well. We also have FM radio stations presenting their news in Kiswahili. We have Julius Caesar, one of the greatest books written by William Shakespeare, which was translated into Kiswahili by the late Julius Nyerere, the former President of Tanzania. That shows you the power of Kiswahili in this country. I, therefore, support this Motion. Thank you very much."
