    "content": "county flag on the other, so that anybody coming to visit knows that this is the flag of West Pokot. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, citizens can also raise the national flags outside their homes. The only difference should be that we should define what size of flags should fly on Government buildings, in cars, and in people’s homes. Those things can be done, so that you do not find a humongous flag covering the whole car. That is why we should do that. In other countries, you can tell a government building by the size of the flag. You can also tell the size of the flag you should fly in your home. In my view, we have been very mean with the size of flags we fly in this country. I do not know who told us that we must have small flags that fly in schools. We must definitely begin to be patriotic. The patriotic nature of Kenya has not been expressed in flags, but this is the time we should do so. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, after 50 years, we have to think whether we go on with the same national anthem or whether we should revise, add or remove anything from it. I like our national anthem. Our national anthem is fantastic in its lyrics as well as its music. I think we are slowly losing the excitement of singing the national anthem because we should sing that national anthem at various places. We should do it at weddings and wherever. We should do it because this is the way that our country has been held together. It is the national anthem and the flag that brings us together. The other day some people wanted to remove, for example, the cockerel from our flag. I do not know. This House refused to support that. I want to congratulate this House because it is the original element and document that gave us our Independence. You cannot just think when you grow up, then you begin to say my mother or my father was this and that. These are the people who gave birth to us."
