    In Kenya, some male MPs argued that the short-sleeved blouse worn by their colleague Sabina Chege was contrary to parliament's dress code. One said it was inappropriate because she had "exposed her arms". But why did the men get so hot under the collar? https://bbc.in/2LYVXA8 pic.twitter.com/hok0QQAvyj

        It’s because it all starts with a blouse; right? That’s probably why they is so much corruption in African governments, poor health care in Africa, poor transport/infrastructure, high levels of poverty etc. It’s all because of that blouse worn in parliament. 🤦🏽‍♂️ smhpic.twitter.com/OgJbUiF0MC

        It's no wonder damaging bills like the VAT one are passed if it's the same group of MPs who discuss silly issues such as this in the house...

        I'm sure there is. Like there is a dress code at work or at a formal dinner.

        The same issues were raised in the US few months ago . I also remember how the republicans went after Michelle Obama on the same issue . How does what women wear affect those MPs' work? ,beside they are wearing black jackets under this hot climate that should be the concern

        Why wouldn't men just take their noses off what women wear,I've not been regularly hearing women telling men what they have on is inappropriate.
