A woman MP was ejected from Tanzanian parliament for wearing black tight-fitting dress. The speaker and several members of parliament did not approve of her body-hugging outfits and asked her to leave the house. The MP, identified as Condester Mcheal Sichlwe, came to the parliament in a yellow top and tight-fitting trousers.
Several MPs objected to her dress and said that this was against the cultural ethos of the Tanzanians. Responding to the MPs' pleas, Speaker Job Ndugain threw her out of the house for wearing what he called ‘non-parliamentary attire. Though trousers and tops are accepted elsewhere in the European and American parliaments, Tanzanian parliament does not allow such dresses. Soon after the incident Tanzanian government has shared a detailed dress code guidelines for all public servants. Several European and American Twitterati criticised the Speaker's decision saying the lady MP has a right to wear what she likes. However, the Tanzanians and Africans in general backed the Tanzanian speaker saying that they cannot judge Tanzanian culture through European glasses
Several African cultures do not approve of the European dress code and stick to the local dress traditions. European dresses are a strict No in several African houses of law makers.
