    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kamar): Hon. Senators, we were alerted of Sen. (Eng.) Maina’s conduct a few minutes ago. I had said that it was in between, but Sen. Wetangula started off and actually alerted the Chair. I want to put it very clear that the Speaker’s rules are very clear on how we dress when we are in the Chamber or even within the precincts, including the dining area. I want to read this for the sake of Members who may be new. I did not expect that from Sen. (Eng.) Maina because he has been a Member of Parliament before. Rule No. 5 on the Conduct of the Senators within the precincts of Parliament says:- “Senators are required not to enter the Chamber, lounge or dining room without being properly dressed-- ” What does “properly dressed” mean? It means that the male Senators shall be dressed in a coat, collar, tie, long trousers, socks and shoes or service uniform if you are a service man, religious attire if you are a sworn religious man or such other decent dressing as maybe approved by the Speaker from time to time. Equivalent standards will, of course, apply for the women Senators. So, out of that point of order, I want to inform Sen. (Eng.) Maina that he is grossly out of order to have removed his jacket inside the Chamber. This House deserves an apology from him. Proceed, Sen. (Eng.) Maina."
