Tweeps were quick to respond to the Swiss president, some warning him of the contraband products that were discovered in Kenya and have been under investigations for the past month.

You guys have made my day aisee?!! Kiswahili cha Mheshimiw Rais wa Uswizi kimenifurahisha sana. Sikutegemea kabisa. Ingawa kweli, darasa zuri linapatikana Tanzania. Wakenya ni wazuri wa kufundisha Kiswahili lakini si kukiongea.
