    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to say, with a lot of humility, that this is a House of rules. Much as I would support that all Kenyans should fly flags and that was my position, but based on our procedure this amendment cannot be allowed. The Standing Orders allow you to make a ruling and if you look at Standing Order No.133(6), it says:- “No amendment shall be moved which is inconsistent with any part of the Bill already agreed to or any decision already made by the Committee and the Chairperson may at any time during the debate of a proposed amendment, withdraw it from the consideration of the Committee if, in the opinion of the Chairperson, the debate has shown that the amendment contravenes this paragraph.” I would request you to find that this particular provision is important. If this amendment is allowed, it is going to negate--- Actually, the old Standing Orders had, in the caption, the words: “Negating the objective of the bill”. Much as I would not agree with the Bill, but when the procedure is wrong, I would request that you get the procedure right and order that this amendment be withdrawn from the consideration of the House."
