    Not true about the kids. English is taught in all schools but most kids communicate in Swahili or local slang called sheng. Others speak their dialect...especially in the villages. There are a lot of Wazungus now so the kids don't get excited as they used to unless you go to the inner villages.

    The runners are not maasai but Kalenjins. Actually its not true that they are the only ones who can run' just that they got the exposure politically. Luhyas and Kisiis are great sprinters and long distance eg. Hellen Obiri. Try exposing western Kenya in athletics u will see Hussein Bolt record broken.
