Swahili isn't an official language not even a national language

[@apolokaggwa6521]

A little research in my native country could have been more helpful. For example, the Swahili language is not and will never be an "official language" anywhere in Uganda. That is a fact you should have pointed out, but failed to do so. It is not widely spoken at all and only a handful of people in Uganda understand it. The dictatorial regime in power has tried to impose it upon us without success. Yet the language has been rejected for more than a century, ever since the Uganda Protectorate and before our independence in 1962. They are trying to spend our meagre resources to do so, instead of promoting our indigenous languages.
With the exception of the influential, most developed and most populated Kingdom of Buganda or simply Buganda, the rest of the country are not literate in their native languages, of which there are at least 40 in the country. Hence, the Luganda language of the Baganda of Buganda, has "organically" become the lingua franca of Uganda, which has aroused tribal jealousy against Buganda by the rest of the the country. Please note that, the country was named by the colonialists after the ancient Kingdom of Buganda. Hence its name Uganda - meaning the land of the Baganda or the "Waganda", as the Swahili-speaking countries of east Africa call us. Therefore, adopting Luganda as one of the indigenous national languages, among several others spoken throughout Uganda, will be inevitable. After all, 80% of the entire economy of Uganda can be attributed to Buganda. It is therefore economically, demographically and linguistically necessary to do so.
