📢 When Grammar Fails, Governance Suffers
Today in Parliament, a sitting MP struggled to pass information in English—his grammar was broken, his message unclear, and the House left bewildered.
This isn’t just a language issue. It’s a leadership issue.
🇰🇪 In a country where laws are debated, amended, and passed in English, clarity is not optional—it’s a duty. Poor grammar in Parliament risks misrepresenting constituents, distorting national policy, and undermining the credibility of our institutions.
We must ask: 🔹 Was the MP prepared? 🔹 Is Parliament offering language support and training? 🔹 Are we electing leaders based on merit, or popularity?
Kenya deserves articulate, informed, and accountable representatives. If you can’t communicate clearly, you shouldn’t be leading national conversations.
🛑 Let’s raise the standard. Parliament is not a classroom—it’s the engine room of national progress. We need leaders who speak with purpose, not confusion.
