"content": "THAT, aware that Kiswahili is the national as well as official language of the Republic as enshrined in the Constitution; further aware that equality and freedom from discrimination and access to information are fundamental rights; cognizant of the fact that democracy and public participation of the people is a national value and principle of governance as per Article 10 of the Constitution; deeply concerned that a section of Kenyans have a low level of knowledge of their legal rights and laws passed by this House as a result of the existing language barriers; convinced that unless we, as a nation, lay down mechanisms for translating the Constitution and laws passed by Parliament and County Assemblies into Kiswahili, most Kenyans will continue being partially aware of the law; this House urges the National Council for Law Reporting to progressively translate the laws of Kenya into Kiswahili."
