    "content": "Kenyans. So, I would want a situation where we begin to get away from that attitude and allow ourselves to pride ourselves of our country using our national flag. How I wish we would have a situation where we are going to watch matches at Kasarani and everybody is holding the national flag or wraps oneself with apparel bearing the national flag, as long as it is not being used for the wrong reason! I think we have reached there as a nation. We have come a long way in terms of our democratic growth. I think it is now time we allowed Kenyans to enjoy themselves for being Kenyans. I think there will be those national flags like the one flown by the President, the Cabinet Secretaries, the Deputy President and the Speakers of the National Assembly and the Senate but there is another type of Kenyan flag that every Kenyan should feel proud of. People should be allowed to even fly it outside their houses. I see that in the United States of America. Bringing it closer home, I see it in South Africa. You find that the citizens of those countries are extremely proud of their countries and they are very patriotic. Maybe it is time to begin creating that kind of unity amongst our citizens so that everybody can feel that a piece of Kenya belongs to them. This country belongs to all of us. I think that will help in creating national unity."
