Uhuru's son's embarrassing zero Kiswahili is proof that we still need this language in our schools

That is very embarassing for a president. A president is the custodian of our values, custom and culture and if his son can't speak kiswahili, i wonder why he insists so much being the president. I got my kids abroad with a non-kenyan woman and my kids speak better kiswahili than that boy from the so called first family

I don't even think most of you understand the CULTURAL value of Swahili... All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

I do not want to watch that video, I am embarrassed for our president, does he know kikuyu perhaps if not then it spells the political death of the kenyatta family, trust me if the young guy tries to vie for any political seat kwanza MCA, MP or senator the bashing he shall receive will be proper, the HOUSE is not as forgiving as the Kales for Gideon Moi To Each His Own

That boy is still young and he can learn. Even Gideon has become more fluent with time. He is not like he was 10 years ago. He speaks more Kalenjin than English which has helped to blunt out the tweng. What this boy needs is to spend more time with Moses Kuria so he can learn 'thug' talk first, he needs to learn to talk like he is angry then the rest will come naturally.

We kenyans dont appreciate that, we are among the few black people, that have a national language, that is culturally very rich. I think only Igbo can parallel Kiswahili, when it comes to richness of a language in africa We need to preserve it,speak it right and write it right grammatically.If Uhuru had senses he would have long time found a tutor for his children. He has the money,doesn't he?Uhuru pretends to hate everything that is western yet his children can't converse, in what in future, is going to africa's lingua franca

Aren't you the same guys who complain when an okuyo speaks the language of his forefathers, the gikuyu language in public? And you say that an okuyo should speak his language only when hiding in the toilet? What kind of hypocrisy us this where you are advocating for African languages but when someone speaks in okuyo unaanza kushuta?
