    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not mind about anyone dressing like a cook or a chef because those are really noble professions. It is really a noble profession to be a cook. My concern is that at one time I walked into the precincts of Parliament, not even into the Chamber while dressed in an orange shirt with nothing written on it and I had a difficult time with the orderlies. They insisted that I was clad in a party colour. They were adamant that I should not come to Parliament dressed in clothing of such colour. Therefore, I need clarification on the kind of colour that is acceptable in Parliament. I know some people may say that, that is a national flag. However, we know that one party, the Kenya African National Union (KANU), has over the years monopolised this kind of colouring. Therefore, it is easily associated with that political party. So, if I could be denied an opportunity to access Parliament precincts while dressed in an orange shirt, then equally the colour which is associated with mama na baba… You cannot allow an Hon. Member to walk into the Chamber in colours of mama na baba unless he comes out clearly to explain that, that colour means something else. Thank you."
