KSL currently has no legal status, but there is a proposal that Kenyan Sign Language (KSL) and Braille should be recognized in the country's new constitution as national and official Languages alongside English and Swahili.
Interpreters are rarely available, and usually 'unqualified' uncertified due to the lack of a training program/certification process.
