"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this chance. The flag represents a living organ and a living country. It is also called a living thing. In this country, we normally regard the flag as a living thing. You have seen the number of lives which have been lost. These are Kenyans who were innocent just doing their daily duties. Our flag still stands high. I do not know if I am the only one making that observation. Kindly, can we also mourn the way the other countries are mourning with us? Could we fly our flags at half mast so that we can all be mourning? Once the flags are at half mast, then even the schools can observe a minute of silence in respect to the dead. Madam Temporary Speaker, when a president dies in this country, the flag is going to fly half mast for one month. When a deputy president dies, the flag is going to fly at half mast for ten days, if I am not wrong. If the Chief Justice (CJ) of this country dies, the flag will also fly at half mast for ten days. Could we fly our flags at half mast when we have such a tragedy?"
