Keston Okoro, a member
of the Delta State House of Assembly was reportedly sent out of the
Assembly floor yesterday for being “indecently dressed.”
A speaker of the house Peter Onwunsanya reportedly gave the order, Leadership reports. He insisted that Okoro should not be re-admitted into the house until he learned to dress decently.
“My dear Speaker and members of this
House, as honorable members, we are here to work according to the rules
and regulations of this House. Therefore, let me draw your attention to
the sitting position of the member representing Udu constituency and to
say his mode of dressing is a total disrespect to this honorable House.
Our mode of dressing should depict us as responsible members of the
House, representing the people in our respective constituencies,” said Daniel Mayuku, one of the House members.
According to reports, Okoro was
reprimanded in accordance with Rule 57 (11) of the House, which states
“that when a member is not properly dressed, he should be sent out until
he does the needful.”
The alleged “indecent” outfit he wore was not disclosed.
