Kizungu Ngumu!!!!!!!

Najma whoever-she-is, a news reporter on Kiss 100 FM while reporting a story from Gucha said:
“the two women who were suspected witchcrafts were beaten before they were lynched by an angry mob”

Now I know the language came by ship but DEM woman! Kizungu ni ngumu lakini… she has managed to kill it a good one.
I don’t know what the criteria for hiring is at Kiss is but they should probably add proficiency in the English language just to be sure. Is she trained in reporting? Did she study journalism or mass communication? Even as a minor?
If there’s no particular qualification for reporters and presenters on radio, the least Kiss 100 can do is hire people who can speak-a-the-english OR have all new employees take an English proficiency test or refresher class. Its down right embarrassing for a media house to have someone read a news item with such mistakes.
Kiss SAVE YOURSELVES from this one.

Memories...

All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things bright and beautiful
The Lord God made them all

Each little flower that opens
Each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colours
He made their tiny wings

All………………………………….

The purple headed mountain
The river running by
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky

All…………………………………

The cold wind in the winter
The pleasant summer sun
The ripe fruits in the garden
He made them every one

All……………………………….

The tall trees in the greenwood
The meadows where we play
That rashes by the water
To gather everyday

All……………………………

He gave us eyes to see them
And lips that we might tell
How great is God almighty
Who has made all things well?

All…………………………………
