    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As we appreciate the visit to this House by the Kitale West Cultural Council of Elders from Trans Nzoia County, it reminds me of the laws that are archaic that we still use in this House. More often than not, they are suspended in certain occasions. When a new Parliament is inaugurated, we usually have elders give traditional prayers dressed in their traditional regalia. I see no reason a council of traditional elders from our communities visiting this House, should not visit us in their traditional regalia to give this House the respect that their sanctuaries have. We have to relook into our rules and to remove the British sort of mentality on what type of dressing is supposed to be called decent."
