Time: some time 2003
Venue: somewhere in a Murang'a
Event: Inter high schools debate
Topic: The new Michuki Matatu Rules

proponent takes to podium..in usual manner, starts by castigating opponent...

"nigepeda kumukosoa mofinzani wagu ariyekunja hapa...blah blah blah(usual mgongo wa chupa, kilemba cha ukoka stuff)
then came the 'kumukosoa'

nigepeda kumukosoa na kumujurisha ya kwaba sio 'mushifi' bari ne 'mukanda'....repeats 'mukanda'

proponent benches glee at having hit a score.
brave faced opponents benches take some reflective notes.
judges seem to jot down probably some 'point awarded'.
audience apprehensive..already the Kiswahili is too deep for 90% of them.....
im the only one thinking.. im i the only one noting a 'Phroblem widh the ranguage' being spoken here?
