“Being smart does not mean properly dressed, If we are coming here as honourable members, let us do so,” Mbadi said.

When a member is sent out of the house for improper dressing, he forfeits all the privileges.

Majority Leader, Aden Duale argued that MPs must protect the integrity of the house.

“We borrow from the House of Commons. We must observe the rule.”

Nambale lawmaker, John Bunyasi observed that Hon. Olago must appreciate that as long as a member is smart, they should be let be.

Otiende defended himself on grounds that the new constitution has granted freedom of dressing.

Speaker Justin Muturi said he’d deliver a ruling after a study of the Hansard to determine what had been decided before.

Is the dressing code debate in Parliament still viable?
