The Kenyan Parliament has prohibited the donning of the Kaunda suit, named after the late Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda, citing a deviation from the established dress code.
Speaker of Parliament, Moses Wetangula, declared that Kaunda suits and traditional African attire are unwelcome, emphasizing a preferred dress code that includes a coat, collar, tie, long-sleeved shirt, long trousers, socks, shoes, or service uniform for men.
President William Ruto, known for sporting the Kaunda suit, has contributed to its popularity.
The ban has sparked diverse reactions on social media, with some questioning the prohibition of an African attire in an African parliament.
