    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for coming up with this amendment Bill. As it has been said rightly by Sen. Amos Wako, this law was enacted a long time when we were growing as a nation. However, now we have matured and we can treat our signs or emblems maturely. Already Kenyans are identifying themselves with the national emblem. That is why you could see them flying the flag during national functions or major tournaments against other countries as a sign of patriotism. It is better they are allowed but it is legislated. That is what this Bill is seeking to achieve. Kenyans should be allowed legislatively to fly the flag with caution so that we do not water down what these symbols mean. It is a sign of our sovereignty and national unity, but we have to treat them with dignity. It is good to allow it legislatively but caution the citizenry to treat these emblems in a dignified manner."
