They were  addressing  Primary  School teachers  during one day  seminar on  how  to use the newly  published AZ Kamusi ya Watato during  the  just  ended 15 edition of the Nairobi International Book fair.
The new Kamusi  ya Watoto is published by Oxford University press to be used in Primary  Schools in the Country and  for Kiswahili teachers.
The  major objective  of  the  one  day  seminar  was to empower  teachers on  how  to  use the dictionary  Kamusi and  the  change in Kiswahili which  is  notational Language
The Scholars  at  the  same  time blamed teachers in  primary School for poor  performance in both Kiswahili and  English language because some  teachers   are  not  versed in both  languages.
Teaching  of languages  is  the foundation of  students and ones the teachers  made any  mistake  the students will be affected through t in there  academic life
Said promised teachers and upcoming writers that  Oxford  University press is  ready to help  then get published both in English and  Kiswahili, adding  that  they will continue to  stage  workshops for Kiswahili  teachers with the major objective  of keeping them well informed
