    "content": "THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after Clause 3- 3A. Section 4A of the principal Act is amended in Amendment subsection 2 by inserting the words “Deputy Speaker of Section 4 of Cap. 99 of the Senate, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Deputy Chief Justice” immediately after the words “the Speaker of the Senate”. You may recall when I was making my submissions to this Bill, I said that on the national emblems, this Act appeared to be weighted in favour of the Executive. That is, the President, Deputy President and Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) to have a flag. A number of Senators also said that even Chairpersons of Committees who now act as CSs and the leadership of the House should also have flags. However, that would then be carrying the thing too far. It was sought that the deputies of heads of organs just like the Executive with the Deputy President, Parliament is also an organ of the State. So, the Deputy Speaker of the Senate and the National Assembly should also have a flag. In the Judiciary, the Deputy Chief Justice should also have a flag. So, that is the purpose of the amendment and, I, so move."
