It is the practice and traditions of this House and our Standing Orders that we shall not display or wear colours that associate with either a party or a foreign sovereign within Parliament. We need to bring that independence and respect the traditions and practices. I request the Hon. Member to remove the scarf he is wearing, so that he remains dignified, honourable, and a sovereign Kenyan who expresses matters of this country in this House without taking positions with any other sovereign in this House. I request that you ask Hon. Farah to do what this House has been doing over the years. It does not accommodate displaying party colours or anything that divides us on tribal and religious lines, or any other thing. He is requested humbly to remove the scarf that he is wearing. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
