    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in this particular amendment I think I need to make it clear that we are not talking about county governments. Anybody who actually purports to speak for or against the county governments, we are actually specifically specifying those particular individuals who are supposed to be flying the flag. Those people who are not within that bracket, including me, as a Member of National Assembly; will be excluded and it will be illegal for them to fly that flag. We are only talking about the President and Deputy President. When we are referring to this, we are also actually referring to the three arms of Government where we have the Legislature which is actually headed by the Speaker and the Executive, which is headed by the President; we also have the Judiciary, which is headed by the Chief Justice. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are trying to amend the law today to allow these particular heads of the three arms of Government to show the significance of national unity. We are only making it known that the only personalities who are State officers, and who are allowed by this law to fly the national flag are these heads of the arms of Government. In this case, we are not referring to anybody because we have three arms of Government. We do not have four. The county government is not an independent arm of Government. So, when we are making this particular reference, we are talking about the three arms of Government."
