By JEREMIAH KIPLANG'ATMore by this AuthorKwale Senator Boy Juma Boy would often dazzle the Senate with his flowing Kiswahili. For instance, if a Motion or a Point of Order is raised in Kiswahili it must be done in that language until it's exhausted. As always, Senator Boy transacted his business in the Senate in Kiswahili, the language spoken mostly by his Kwale County constituents, and fellow senators would cringe as they made their contributions in the language. His voice was commanding and he would insist that his name was Senator Boy Juma Boy not Juma Boy Juma, his father's name. The senator's eloquence in Kiswahili will be missed in the Senate.
