Stop insulting Kenyans says Irak Yelekeyev, a member of the lower house of Kazakhstan’s Parliament. He noticed that his tea from Kenya said, in Russian, “Black Tea from Kenya” but in Kazakh it said Kara Kenya Chayi or Tea from Black Kenya! According to sources who were there, Yelekeyev went on to say that this was an insult to Kenyans and to President Obama who is of Kenyan heritage and that to avoid these kinds of mistakes, the government must control the use of the Kazakh language on products and in official uses: “How can we talk about writing laws in the state language when we can’t even write food labels properly?!” he was quoted as saying by Interfax.kz
