There was drama in Parliament on Thursday after an MP was kicked out wearing ‘church’ headgear.

Gatundu South MP Gabriel Kagombe was asked to get out after he appeared in parliament with a clothlike on his head.

He was donning a brown suit, stripped tie adding the headgear.

This is the first time the MP is appearing in Parliament with a ‘church’ headgear.

When asked, the MP said he was exercising his rights of religion according to the constitution.

Kagombe explained that since the last session in Parliament, he had found Jesus in a different way.

The Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang’ula questioned the type of religion Kagombe is associates with.

He said his church dictates that at times he puts on the headgear even during official functions.

Gatundu South MP kicked out of Parliament for wearing headgear based from advice from his new Church.

“It is a religion called the Church of Love and Acceptance, it is a newly registered Church by the Registrar of Society and I now associate with it,” he said.

Wetang’ula said Akorino is the only sect that dresses the way the MP was dressed and that he mentioned a different sect from Akorino.

“To the extent you are mentioning something different from Akorino, I rule you out of order and you will have to go and change your gear and come back,” he said.

Speaker’s rules provide that MPs are required not to enter the chamber, lounge, or dining room without being properly dressed.

A male member is expected to 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.

The same rules apply to women legislators who may also wear kitenge or other African attires.
