    "content": "Hon. Senators, I encourage you once again to look at the Standing Orders and this small booklet that contains the Speaker’s Rules. I want to bring to your attention particularly Rule 5 of the Speaker’s Rules. It says: “Senators are required not to enter the Chamber, lounge or dining room without being properly dressed. This means that a male Senator shall be dressed in a coat, collar, tie, long trousers, socks and shoes or service uniform, religious attire or such other decent dressing as may be approved by the Speaker from time to time. An equivalent standard shall apply in respect of women Senators.” Sen. Kasanga, whether you are at the Dispatch Box or your seat, so long as you are in the Chamber, you are supposed to be properly dressed as described. This is not a holiday camp. These rules are for our own good and dignity, so that we are respected; that we look like people who are transacting serious business. It applies to all of us, including the Speaker. You have heard of cases where Kenyans made fun about some county assemblies in the past term, where the speaker would enter the chamber while chewing gum and reading messages on the phone. Let this matter rest there. Sen. Kasanga, you need to apologise to the House before you proceed to give your Notice of Motion."
