ABSTRACT This is an academic project that is likely to foster other research activities. It was specifically set
out to investigate the unique characteristics of Luo language that put it as a barrier to
communicate in others language especially Kiswahili. This arose from a great concern that
Kenyan Local Language are greatly influencing the acquisition of second language (English and
Kiswahili)
In this research, a total number of one hundred respondents have been contacted and they have
given out their responses as per their capability. Amongst them were pupils, teachers, parents
and head of schools who are directly, involved in the problem. The respondents used for the
study. Among the used instruments were questionnaires which were administered to language
teachers and parents, oral interviews conducted to pupils and head- teachers and direct
observation by the researcher himself.
The data obtained shows that Kiswahili and other languages subjects in Kenyan Primary schools
are at a stake. The major cause of this is the existence of numerous local languages which have
not been fully integrated to produce the best effect. The study has therefore proposed some
possible recommendations which if implemented, are likely to yield positive results
