Since the word ‘harambee’ is mostly used when collecting money, he wanted to know whether it is appropriate to use it in our coat of arms. I might not be as good or fluent in Kiswahili, but ‘harambee’ is a word that united this country. When I was young, I used to hear the founding father of the nation, Jomo Kenyatta, pronouncing the word ‘harambee’ with a lot of vigour wherever he went. It has a meaning to Kenyans. Whenever the second President, Daniel arap Moi said ‘harambee, ’ people would say, “fuata nyayo .” That means that it has a lot of historical meaning to our country. Therefore, we can listen to the petitioner, but I think some of the words need to remain because of our historical background as Kenyans.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
