Meaning Swahili was born in Zanzibar, but when it came to Kenya it became mixed or changed in some way. After saying that, he smiled and told the crowd that he will now speak in English.
The way he said it made people laugh loudly because it sounded like a joke about how language is used differently in different places. The audience enjoyed the moment because it made the event feel light and relaxed before the serious speech started.
After the laughter went down, the President continued his speech in English. He changed from joking mode to serious talk as he spoke about government matters and national issues. This helped the audience to stay interested and follow what he was saying.
Many people like such moments because they show leaders in a simple and human way. Instead of only being serious all the time, the joke made the President look more relaxed and easy to connect with.
Some people later talked about it and said it shows how leaders can use both Swahili and English to reach different groups of people in Kenya. It also shows how humour can be used to break tension and make people feel comfortable.
In Kenya, many languages are used every day, so mixing language and humour is very common in speeches. It helps people understand better and also keeps the audience active and listening.
The moment also showed that even serious events can start in a light way before moving to important topics. The crowd was already in a good mood, so it became easier for them to listen to the rest of the speech.
