Data were collected through documentary review, questionnaires and interviews. The findings of the study revealed three things.

Second, it was, further, found that there were impacts related the above mentioned challenges. These were: mis-interpretation, over-interpretation, under-interpretation and inconsistent impacts. The study recommends that interpreters should be acquainted with effective strategies; including theories like Functional Equivalent Theory, Sense-based Theory and approaches of rendering a message from source language text to target language text in order to tranfer the message effectively and avoid distortion of meaning through over-interpretation, mis-interpretation and under-interpretation in TLT. They should be knowledgeable on the subject matters before embarking on interpretation. Furthermore, if there is no equivalent termonologies, it is advised that the interpreter should transfer the items as they are to the TLT in order to avoid distortion of meaning.
