Thank you. Hon. Members, this is a subject that you all want to express yourself on. I know many of you have come to the Speaker’s screen and seen whether they are number one, two or something like that. However, if you sit where I am seated, you will find that it takes more than being number one. There are many things we need to balance as we get to this.

However, I want you to relax because we are going to discuss this Bill. We will not gag Members. I think there is no pressure on you. So, when you get the opportunity, just contribute. If you feel, because you are the debaters, that we take it to the next session, we will. That is because I can even see that the House is not prepared for a vote. Take your time and debate this Bill.

The Member for Samburu North, we are not discussing the flag but we are discussing the order of precedence.

Well. You need to debate whether that is consistent with the Bill. Yes, the Member for Chuka/Igambang’ombe! Is that the small area that you represent? It has a long name like that.

Thank you. The Member for Eldas, I am just looking at your Bill. I am expressing myself without pronouncing myself on it. You may want to consider the title or long title because you have several things you are discussing here. You are discussing order of precedence in Part One as a separate or distinct part. You are also discussing the issue of flags as a distinct issue. Although they are joined together but, as a drafting advice, it is also another section of what you are discussing.

Title is another section of what you are discussing. So, you may want to re-look at your long title at the Committee stage and see whether you can, with the advice of the legal people, say order of precedence, flags and titles even in the short title. This will ensure that you do not confuse several things which can easily be in different statutes in one Bill. However, that is just an advice without pronouncing myself. You will get a chance to speak about this.
