Senate Speaker Amason Kingi threw out Karen Nyamu from the chamber over her dress code.
The UDA nominated senator was on Tuesday afternoon forced to leave the Senate chambers due to inappropriate dressing.
Nyamu was dressed in a kitenge skirt and a black sleeveless blouse that left her arms exposed which, according to the House rules, is deemed as inappropriate dressing.
Male senator complained to the Speaker about Nyamu’s dressing and Kingi had to act.
“Senators are required not to enter the chamber, lounge or dining room without being properly dressed.”
“This means a male Senator will 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 who may also wear kitenges or such other African attire, Speaker Kingi read out Rule number 5 before asking Karen Nyamu to leave the House.
“Senator Nyamu I’m afraid you don’t fit the bill and I’m going to ask you to leave the chambers, go get properly dressed and come back to the chambers,” said the Speaker.
Nyamu hesitated for a moment before she catwalked out of the Senate chambers while smiling. Watch the video below:
