"content": "As the good Senate Majority Leader said that, we, the new Senators, are familiarizing ourselves with the rules and procedures of this House. I have been reading the Speaker’s Rules on the conduct of Senators within the precincts of Parliament. The Speaker’s Rule No.5 states that- “Senators are required not to enter the Chamber, lounge or dining room without being properly dressed. This means that a Senator shall be dressed in a coat, collar, tie, long trousers, socks and shoes, or service uniform, religious attire or such other decent dressing as may from time to time be approved by the Speaker” An equivalent standard shall apply in respect to Women Senators who may also wear Kitenge or such other African attire. I have been looking at my good brother, the decorated Senator for Kisii. Although I am told that there was a ruling that was done many years ago, we are now living in the present. I would wish to get your guidance on what rules we are referring to. I am happy that the traditional wear is allowed in this Senate---"
