LANGUAGE POLICIES IN KENYA The colonist linguistic strategy in Kenya is significant, placing it into a thought that it impacted deeply on the post-colonial linguistic rule. Conflicting to the lengthy alleged theory that the settler administration aimed to encourage English linguistic in the settlement, the foreign linguistic strategy was at all times unclear and indecisive such that there were times that actions were introduced to endorse or discourage its studying. Conversely, such rejection unintentionally offered an incitement for Kenyans to study English as they were aware of the fact that it was the opening line for white collar works (Mazrui, 65). While hardly a section of the Kenyan inhabitants can sufficiently practice English, it continues as the honored formal linguistic and the channel of training in the learning organization, unlike Kiswahili, the co-official linguistic. .
