Chairlady, I rise to support the Memorandum for the reason that it increases the number of people enjoying flying the national flag. The flag is not a symbol of power or an instrument of respect. In fact, I would have prayed that His Excellency the President recommends that we go the East African Community way. I see Members of Parliament and Judges flying the national flag. This is a facility that everybody should enjoy. I would support the President. Let them have the flag."}
