    "content": "garment. Was hon. Shikuku properly dressed when he wore a sleeveless outer garment? I looked up the definition of a coat in the dictionary and it is defined as: “A long outer garment with sleeves buttoned at the front.” An outer garment without sleeves is not a coat. Consequently, hon. Shikuku was not properly dressed within the meaning of the Speaker’s Rules.” Again, on Tuesday, 9th November, 1993, the then Speaker of the National Assembly made the following ruling and I quote:- “As a guide, hon. Members are allowed into the Chamber while wearing a coat, collar, tie, long trousers, socks and shoes or service uniform or decent national dress for men, and equivalent standard for ladies. As a practice also, hon. Members of the Islamic faith have in addition been allowed to wear a white kanzu buttoned at the neck and with a jacket, preferably a black one, worn on top, a cap, socks and shoes.” Hon. Senators, on 11th March, 2014, I delivered a ruling to this Senate on the appropriateness of the dress worn by the Senator for Garissa County, Sen. Haji, who came to the Chambers wearing a kanzu . In that ruling, I found that Sen. Haji was properly dressed on that material day. There is no assurance; it is always, on the material day."
