Kenyans should improve on oral communication.

Whenever an accident occurs or another occurrence—good or bad—Kenyans flock to the scene to witness .A little later, members of the fourth estate jostle there to record the happening as well as witness the eye witness. In many instance than not, the interviewees struggle to narrate the actual thing that took place. At the end of the day, the information is distorted to a great extent. The worst case is when the police officers are interviewed. In political forum, a good number of politicians find themselves on the receiving end over their remarks. In most cases, such politicians make their remarks innocently but due to the poor communication skill. It is interesting to note that even well-educated professionals make the same mistake when addressing the public or in similar forum. In the above situations, one can deduce that communication skills are lacking. It is therefore important that our education system should put emphasis on oral communication skill. This form of communication is absolutely necessary as it can mean life or death in sensitive professionals like medical or aviation. It is for this reason that it should be nurtured in formative learning institutions so that everybody can grow up knowing how to communicate effectively to avoid misinterpretation of message.
