This must be a joke! Is this man assuming that everyone in the assembly understands Luhya? What education level must these people have to hold these positions. If they finished high school, shouldn't they at least be able to communicate in Swa?

What happened to National Language?

Did I hear someone say that counties shouldn't employ more than 30% of workforce from one community?

Kiswahili is the national language.... The only language to be used by all State officials in case English is a problem!

In Nyeri and Muranga govt offices,the local language is used even in meetings.However for Kakamega county it may be tricky as there is no language like Luhya.

False attribution. It neither makes it legal nor right....does it?
