Description of the flag
Some more information on the Garissa County
flag can be found on
Facebook:
"Last night I have also launched the county flag. The law allows
each county to have its own flag uniquely identified with them. Our
flag has 7 lines of navy blue and yellow stripes. Each of the seven
lines represents each of the seven sub-counties constituting Garissa
county. On the left edge of the flag is a circular picture of Hirola
also known as the Hunter's hartebeest or the Devil's deer. It is a
Critically Endangered antelope species found at Ishaqbini
conservancy in Ijara Constituency.
The hirola is the last living representative of the Beatragus
hunteri genus. If this animal with the long muzzle and trademark
white-spectacle markings dies, the entire three-million-year-old
lineage goes too".

The county flag has seven equal horizontal alternating blue and
yellow stripes. The canton is red and features the county logo
surrounded by the words "GARISSA COUNTY" above and "HOME OF THE
HIROLA" below in white capital letters.
