Kiswahili is a very important language in Kenya. It is both a national and official language in the republic of Kenya. However, there are concerns that the poor performance in Kiswahili in national examinations is partially attributed to the laxity in the enforcement of the school language policy. Recent research has shown that Kiswahili language is faced with lack of full implementation of language policy at various levels yet scholars have argued that language policy performs a substantial role in the enhancement of performance as well as the comprehension of the language. The study objective was to examine the influence of punishment on the enforcement of the school language policy in secondary schools. The study was conducted in 30 out of 300 public secondary schools found in Bungoma County. The respondents were 360 form three students, 90 teachers of Kiswahili and 30 principals. Cluster, stratified, purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to sample the target groups. The study established that the influence of punishment on the enforcement of the school language policy was dependent on the type of the school.
