The Permanent Secretary – Ministry of Culture, Arts and Sports, Mr Gerson Msigwa, has visited the National Kiswahili Council (BAKITA) and directed the Council management to explore new sources of income including establishment of Kiswahili centres in Dodoma and Arusha, and running short courses for journalists, secretaries and the public at large.

 

Mr Msigwa was speaking today at the BAKITA Headquarters in his first visit to the Council as the Ministry Permanent Secretary.

 

“This visit is meant for the institutions which are affiliated to the ministry I lead to learn their progress and share ideas with heads of these institutions”, said Mr Msigwa.

He has called on the Council to make more efforts to publicize Kiswahili as its core mission.

“We shall commercialize Kiswahili and oversee the use of standard Kiswahili since we have the opportunity to introduce Kiswahili in all countries in the world”, Mr Msigwa has added.

 

Moreover, he has urged journalists and newscasters to feel proud of speaking standard Kiswahili.

“Among the disgusting practices is to see the mass media distort Kiswahili, let’s cooperate with the Ministry and BAKITA to promote the use of standard Kiswahili since we are the flagship stakeholders as far as the use of standard Kiswahili is concerned”, Mr Msigwa has said.
