That he must not speak his language in public and should only do so while hidding in the toilet? And this is happening when UNESCO is worried to bits about the loss of indigeneous languages? Why all this discrimination against the agikuyu and their language?
Now this reminds me of something. I have been to pubs in Nairobi and they gladly play luo music (ohangla), Luhya (mukangala), Congolese lingala but refuse to play kikuyu music. What kind of discrimination is this?
Common sense dictates that, when you are in a group that is heterogenous, stick to a language that everyone understands. It is polite like that. remember,it is nice to be nice. you will rarely hear someone from the coast speak in their language amidst others.It is a kikuyu thing and it is mostly due to low self confidence and also lack of their mastery of kiswahili.uncultured like i wrtoe before. Uhuru is the President and he will remain as the president but he has to behave like one, otherwise, let him be the governor of kiambu. In that position no one will care if he speaks kikuyu or not
