A man has filed a petition at the National Assembly seeking to have the Coat of Arms changed.
The petitioner, Charles Mangua from Limuru, Kiambu, wants the word Harambee replaced with Kenya.
Mangua claims he was sent by God to root for the change. He insisted that the Lord talked to him and asked him to go to Parliament to ensure the change is effected.
“I shall not be held responsible for the lives of the people Kenya by God concerning that matter of the word appearing on the Coat of Arms. You shall all be held responsible, collectively and individually before God concerning the matter of the word on the Coat of Arms, which should be reading the name Kenya,” said Mangua.
The Coat of Arms is a symbol of national unity.
National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi has now issued a directive to the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee to consider the man’s petition after it was presented before the House.
The Committee which is chaired by Baringo North MP William Cheptumo has 60 days to consider the petition and report back to the House.
