    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that the country loses many man-hours when the flag is being hoisted or lowered. (b) The Kenyan flag is entrenched in the Constitution of Kenya significantly as a national symbol of sovereignty. In addition, hoisting and lowering of the flag is an international practice adopted by independent States and international organizations all over the world as a symbol of identity. The time set for hoisting and lowering of the flag is stipulated through subsidiary legislation in the regulation, under Section 9, Cap.99 which is the National Emblems and Names, Laws of Kenya. Locations, occasions, conditions and practices are set out in the Civil Service Code of regulations and various Standing Orders. (c) Any officer from the disciplined forces who is on duty at the time when the flag is supposed to be hoisted, does so and we do not have any specific officers who are assigned the duty of hoisting or lowering the flag."
