You said Swahili is spoken by everyone in Kenya? But most online sources i have come across claims that only about 2/3 of Kenya speaks swahili, i guess i was misinformed.

Kiswahili is a compulsory subject in all schools both oral and in literature form. Any person that has gone to school in Kenya has no option but to undertake swahili.

@Muafrika2

what about the masais? Do they speak it too?

Maasais in Kenya mainly in urban centers speak swahili, thou Maasai are the most deeply inclined in their culture they are adopting swahili in their daily lives coz its the main spoken language everywhere in Kenya.

I wish to learn more about east Africa and i have some sincere questions for Kenyans here (from an open heart)

My first question
Pls, I want to know how functional the east African community of states is.

This is my own personal opinion & experience when going to Uganda an EAC country from Kenya.
My home town Eldoret is 130 kilometers from the Kenya-Uganda border town of Malaba.
The immigration office is situated right at the border of both countries.
The major language is Swahili followed by English and other tribal languages.
Movement within Malaba border towns is free and enjoys almost zero restrictions.
The unit of currency used is either the Kenyan Shilling which retails at 1 Kenyan shilling to 38 Ugandan Shilling.
Taxation on goods is minimal except on imported container goods from the port of Mombasa.

ianSweet:
Still on EAC, i'd like to know why Horn African countries (Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti) are not part of EAC.

This horn of Africa countries are majorly Semitic and mainly have suffered the vulgarities of war & conflicts between each other that have made it impossible to partake of a common union. Ethiopia- Eritrea war, Ethiopia- Djibouti war, Ethiopia- Somalia war, South Sudan- Sudan war etc.

ianSweet:
Also, i once read somewhere that there are plans by the EAC to form a united single country. How true is this please? I really love the idea. I have always admired the way majority of east africans (excluding horners) have been united by the swahili language.

The idea was mainly to have a single currency unit, on the issue of single country is almost totally impossible due to African leaders greed.
In terms of speaking swahili the language has been able to spread far and wide due to the presence of different nationals from various east and eastern African countries in the EAC countries. Swahili is a Bantu language spoken in Tanzania, Burundi, Congo (Kinshasa) Kenya, Mayotte, Mozambique, Oman , Burundi, Rwanda, Somalia, South Africa, Comoros, Uganda, UAE and the USA. Around 5 million people speak Swahili as a native language, and a further 135 million speak is as a second language. The S. Sudanese nationals numbering over a million in Kenya and Uganda who were displaced by war have exported the language back to S. Sudan and also the presence of thosands of Kenyan businessmen in Juba.
Rwanda adopted the language due to the common border they share with Tanzania, Congo also has a large majority of the Northern part of it who speak swahili as they share a common border with Tanzania.
Somalis who have lived in Kenya are also prime exporters of the language to Southern Somali and parts of the central Somalia.
Northern Mozambique and Zanzibar are the other countries that speak Swahili albeit with different accents

Great people don't repeat their pictures. This is mediocre to say the least. Next, some bikers from Ibadan or a navy ship with an oversized flag...Nigeria...boring!

Infact this Nigerians dudes are raping some pictures around here.... After every 2 pages the pictures are shown again, the amount of repeated pictures consisiting of Mr. Price and a few houses and a certain bridge has been so much emphasized i think i can subconsciously recall every interval it has been repeatedly forced down Kenyan throats as part of the "development".
