There was a Petition by a gentleman. I cannot remember his name now. This gentleman wanted the cockerel in the Coat of Arms to be removed. According to them, that cockerel is a symbol of Kenya African National Union (KANU). Therefore, in his mind, it represents KANU in our national symbols. However, he cannot be correct. A cockerel cannot be the symbol of KANU even if the symbol of KANU is a cockerel. These symbols are important to our nation."}
