    "content": "I want to agree with Mr. Okemo that this is a time when tradition does not apply. If you look at the tradition and practice in this Parliament, it is a Commonwealth tradition. Even if I am speaking from a legal perspective and referring to the case of Nyali Limited versus the Attorney-General, the famous Lord Denning said that when we use the English Tradition, it must be adapted to the local circumstances like the English hawk. So, if the local circumstances do not allow; like in our circumstances we started late because of the violence that was in this country and the circumstances that we are facing, therefore, we must adapt the tradition to suit this country. If the tradition is such that we do not need to go to recess now, we do not have to. I wanted to give an example when Mr. Speaker was on the Chair, that even if you look at the attires that we adorn, they look utterly ridiculous. At an appropriate time, I will be moving a Motion that we dress in a more appropriate and African manner. All our traditions should equally conform to our African traditions."
