When ODM's Mbadi joked that counterpart Otiende Amollo had dressed in 'Nomiya Church' attire

- It all started when Kisumu Town West MP accused his Rarieda counterpart Otiende Amollo of having developed a custom of dressing inappropriately, coming to the chambers with a collar-less shirt, although he did not mince his words in acknowledging Amollo looked very smart.
This quickly prompted Speaker Justin Muturi to read the House Standing orders on dress code.
It states that members (MPs), members of the press shall not enter the Chamber, Lounge, Dining room or Committee Rooms without their being properly dressed. Properly dressed means a) a coat, collar, tie, long-sleeved shirt, long trousers, socks and shoes or service uniform for men, b) decent formal/business wear for women.
The lawmaker tried to use his prowess in the field of law, perhaps banking on the Theory of Spiral of Silence, to silence his counterparts from criticizing him. Amollo said that despite his attire not having a collar, it had properly covered his neck.
The trick did not work as the debater himself, Suba South MP John Mbadi, rose to the occasion, dropping the Nomiya Church shade. According to the ODM Party chairperson, Honorable Otiende Amollo’s dressing was no different to that of a Nomiya Church pastor on a Sunday, adding that where he comes from is where the church was founded.
Mbadi even went a notch higher in suggesting there be a change of rules in Parliament’s dress code.
“You cannot allow Honorable Abdulswamad to dress like a Muslim and you deny me from dressing as a Catholic or a Seventh Day Adventist…Tomorrow a Legio Maria will come here and you will not prevent me from dressing as one” said Mbadi.
Majority Leader Aden Duale decided to attack ‘nominee 001’ David Ole Sankok’s ‘green dress’, insisting that there is what he terms as “total confusion between him and the Parliament clerks on the table…You should leave your green uniform outside before entering the Chamber”
The Garissa Town East MP said that integrity of the House must be protected. If not, he says, MPs like Embakasi West George Theuri will now start coming in Parliament with his designer ‘East-lands jeans’

AUTHORITATIVE. BOLD. ENTERTAINING.
Otiende chose to be unique, smart and decent. These MPs can be time wasters.
Mbadi pokes holes on Otiende's dressing while altogether with his ties, he looks dressed like a fisherman.
Not only smarter dresses daily but decorum..quorum..diction..action and intellectua with instinct distinguished distinct humanity and agility...Kudos to his dear parents for da gift of nature pertaining his personality
This guy is a great lawyer and he is passionate about his work
This man is a great lawyer, and he will always have words to defend himself, you cannot pinch him down...
Otiende Amollo is very clear in all his explanations.
Mwafrika kutolewa kwa msitu Messed him completely...... They are serious issues to be discussed than their dressing code......waende ata bila nguo we don't care ....fanyeni kazi muhimu bwana
For the 13 years i have worked in a german parlament ... never have i heart them wasting their time discussing dress codes coz they know ,they have more serious issues to deal with. This is such a big shame😡🙈!
Useless idiots gobbling up our taxes
😂😂😂😂😂
That's why I prefer watching the south Africa Parliament.
Me too
SA is so entertaining especially when malema speaks
Mbadi seem to be a very vangeful man who is bitter with Otiende Amolo for reasons best known to him.
If I were Raila, I would rather fire Mbadi and retain Otiende. Otiende has the stuff which cannot be compared with the village clown- Mbadi!
See how passionate these fools are discussing non-issues NKT!!
😂😂😂😂
Bed mos wiseman
Watu wanakufa njaa..and yet the law's makers are discussing their private bedroom staff..bure bure bure
Viva my MP Hon. Otiende Amollo 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Instead of discussing the cost of doing business in Kenya and the gap between innovation and policy We are discussing dressing codes?
A waste of time speaking about dress codes when more important issues should be discussed 🙆♂️
Telling us we did a mistake,there is many important thing to discuss
The chairs are empty?
Mbadi ties his tie like one of our classmates called longlilo
This is so archaic. People should be allowed to wear anything they feel comfortable wearing.
The issues of dressing is now obsolete in the so called standing order, the country needs men and women of integrity. Corruption level among the people in that house, is a key priority to counter individuals of economic sabotage.
Our politicians in Kenya should really review the definition of a collar before contributing without proper defer understanding of the reference.
A COLLAR IS DEFINED AS
- the part of a shirt, coat, dress, blouse, etc., that encompasses the neckline of the garment and is sewn permanently to it, often so as to fold or roll over.
- a similar but separate, detachable article of clothing worn around the neck or at the neckline of a garment.Compare clerical collar.
- anything worn or placed around the neck.
Hi ujinga iko kenya ni mingi sana 🇰🇪🇰🇪
Kabisa
Hiyo nguo ya Sankok huboo sana
Anakaa kama army worm complete na hio gap kwa meno
i think punguza mizigo should start here
What kind of stupidity is this! Why would a whole MP be concerned about a collar and tie instead of focus on propagating laws that will improve the country's welfare
Because the standing orders requires it so. If you don't like it, just change the rules first. But don't hope to change the rules by changing the practice.
😂 these guys are never serious.. all that money we pay them to talk about tie and collar that matches shirt smh..
Kenya!!! 😭😭 Discussing dressings code instead to focus on something important
Parliament discussing dressing.... What a shallow minded house
Next time they will be discussing shitting and farting in parliament
If you allow the practice of ignoring and overlooking one set of rules, then you might as well prepare for the day all rules will be overlooked and ignored. If you don't like some rules then you change them first. But don't encourage the practice of hoping to change rules by changing the practice.
This is terrible and horrible!
How is integrity related with dressing? Or is integrity related with corruption??
Benjamin Omanga most of chairs are empty?
So we elect this people to go to parliament and debate non nonsensical things like dress code, As long as you are decent that's all that should matter.
This are my leaders wasting time while youth lack jobs
But SC Atiende is always on fleek
And I know where "I comes from".🙄
It's a pity our so called mps are here discussing nonsense about their dressing code n some Kenyans have nothing to eat let alone dress.. this is very sad 😢😢
If you stopped eating our money,i wouldn't care if you all dressed like power rangers
Wasting resources, sitting allowance etc. Redundancy in debate. This kind of theme would have been resolved in 20mins time. These are the leaders we have. What to do.... It was also uncouth on castigating Hon. Otiende yet I don't see any problem with the attire that he had worn.
What hii seria gani
Are these really lawmakers? Can we trust the 12th parliament to represent us well?
Very sad this guy's have nothing to discuss
They spend time.... Building the nation.... Discussing rules for dress code. Smh
Why dwell on trivialities, while Kenyans are barely surviving...Just don't go naked, but deliver services to the electorate.
They should have stayed at home and group chatted this shit on WhatsApp👾
you mean there's nothing serious!??
These guys have time to discuss such... And get paid for it
Our representatives are so petty. Engaging in baseless issues completely defeats why they are there in the first place. Sad
Nonsense, just enjoying our Taxes, only to come ad waste time discussing about dressing code.... so sad to have this kind of leaders...
Foolish discussion when we are buying bread @60
Give me time back you've wasted my life.
South African parliament is more entertaining
Why would a house spend a whole 1hr discussing dressing
Its a shame
Discuss the wage bill,big4,unemployment,I can go on till Jesus comes back!
What is wrong with our honourable members.Instead of discusing the problems kenyans facing now and what can be done to help them overcome the problems we r spending one hour on dressing.
Is this what you elect MPs to go and do in your representation???? Okay,
It's amazing how Otiende is passionate about his outfit,, a full Doctor
That is not mbadi.
Colonial mentality! I think we should define our own standards and values. I do not see what is wrong with what Hon. Otiende Amollo is wearing apart from the fact it does not fit within our colonial decorum. Talk about being independent.
True
Parliament should be a place to discuss more serious developmental issues. Too many urgent issues pending, but here we are discussing dressing..SAD
Indeed if this are the people who will elect our next president hand shake and BBI is not the way to go
West Africans do better here.
Hon Duale 😂😂😂😂😂
Bz
Bbi
RU,
Always busy discussing nothing important to Kenyans
Amollo otiende, ng'ama riek yawa
Parliament has a brand !? A colonial slave brand
I think I need to give you Agenda's...
Mbadi and Nduale mouthing with no clean content, they are just struggling to get attention
Jo Uyoma will not be intimidated...:)
Clowns

😂😂😂😂😂🇰🇪
Otiende Amollo is very clear in all his explanations.
