"content": "If it were not for fighting for Independence, we and our children would not be where we are. There would be slaves all over. We would be slaves of our masters, but because of the blood that we shed which is shown as red in the national flag we were able to get our freedom without blinking. Since we are black, we saw the discrimination. The people who fought for Independence, like Dedan Kimathi and the likes went through thick and thin because they were black. However, because of what they went through, we eventually got our freedom. There is need to protect the colours of the flag, the shield and everything that belongs to us. There is need to also protect the shield and everything that belongs to us. We cannot take everything that comes from the West. Sometimes the West laughs at us. They come up with something and we just take it gladly. When we take it, they laugh at us because now they have disseminated their culture to ours and this sometimes erodes our culture. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this Bill by Sen. (Dr.) Zani and hope that it will become law. This is so that no one or no other government coming today or after ten years should tamper with the National Anthem and flag. I support this Bill. Thank you."
