Kiswahili Day

Kiswahili Day is the day to celebrate iswahili language because over the years it has united more than 2oo million people of eastern Africa. Kiswahili Day is celebrated on February 1st every year. For over 150 years, there has been a lot of rhetoric about the importance of Kiswahili and the urgent need to teach and use it in Eastern Africa. The colonial governments and post-colonial governments held the same views during their term in office, but nothing was done thereafter. Many commissions they constituted on education came up with good recommendations concerning Kiswahili, but all remained on paper.
