Gichuru says in his Foreword, "in the tumbling colourful phrases and the unusual juxtapositions of words and ideas I felt that I was witnessing the birth of something altogether new and exciting, which I may perhaps christen 'East African English'." This theme is also stressed by W. G.
Bowman in his Introduction. In an age of over-editing and processing this book presents a refreshing challenge to all teachers and writers of English in East Africa.
