This ministry can’t make up its mind

What exactly is going on at the Ministry of Education? Even before the dust settles on that incomprehensible scam involving Free Primary School Education funds, someone is tinkering with Kiswahili, the language that Kenyans like to pretend is their national lingo.

As it is, few Kenyan leaders can hold sway or even make sense in their national language. The few who can are either from the coast where Kiswahili is practically a mother tongue or they have had to hire tutors in old age to polish up their misamiati.
