"content": "10 Wednesday 2nd December, 2015(A) In the last Parliament, Hon. Olago Aluoch came into the Chamber dressed in High Court attire. Hon. Marende ruled that dresses that are good only for other jurisdictions cannot be adopted in this Chamber. Be that as it may, Hon. Pkosing is improperly dressed. Hon. Members, you are asked to come into the Chamber in a dress that is acceptable inside the Chamber, however smart you are. On the other hand though, there has been clamour that we should relax our dressing code. That is a possibility but it has to be done by the proper Committee of the House and brought before the House for adoption. A decision can be made one way or the other to see if Members’ dressing can be relaxed to make them more comfortable. As it is now, we have to follow the precedent that we have set as a House. Incidentally, in 1969, Hon. Slade, the Speaker then, ruled that if a certain Member’s dressing does not meet with the approval of honourable Members, he will doubtlessly hear about it and a step taken to ensure that, that Member is properly dressed. Therefore, I affirm that Hon. Pkosing was not properly dressed. He was very smartly dressed, but not properly dressed."
