On Thursday November 12, 2020 a momentous occurrence took place at the National Assembly in Kenya — President Uhuru Kenyatta presided over the launch of Kiswahili and bi-lingual versions of the House Standing Orders.
As I sat in the chamber and later in the precincts of Parliament during the launch, the occasion got me thinking. I thought about Kiswahili and East African Community.
