We still ask Kenyans to promote their culture and we still can’t give them access to the most important document on the land through Translation.
Some People may say the Constitution keeps changing but since the Promulgation of the New constitution, it hasn’t changed much. Just a few amendments can easily be translated too. I believe there are many Kenyans who haven’t been able to access education and are missing out on what the constitution, and the rules of engagement in the daily affairs of the Nation entail.
This may simply be one of the reasons apart from Corruption as to why a Chicken thief gets 5 years in prison and doesn’t appeal while looters of public coffers get only 4M fine or just 4 years in prison.
The same constitution states that there is a right to access information. But doesn’t this inability and unavailability of a Translated constitution act as a barrier to access of information to many who don’t understand or read English or Swahili and are Kenyans? It’s even difficult to access a Swahili written constitution!
The translation of the bible is not a good example because it is a tool of manipulation while the constitution is a tool of that enables one to know their rights better.
Why would the people who seek to control and steal from the nation want you to have the constitution in every language? In fact, we are lucky enough to have what we do.
Africans and religion is like an addiction without remedy.Same way the elected leaders need 5-10 armed security officers to protect them from the electorate,whom they purport to represent…unsolved paradox!
More of a culture class… People are so ignorant
The effort put in for translation to take place is huge. Law makers do not share the same zeal with missionaries
The Bible was translated as a way through which the missionaries could convert a large number of people into Christianity. The constitution, however, is just law and translating it wouldn’t change the fact that it is sovereign.
