Should African attire be allowed in African parliaments?

Kenya's parliament has banned the wearing of a suit, named after the late Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda, within the building.

Speaker of Parliament Moses Wetangula said Kaunda suits, as well as traditional African clothes, were not welcome.

And Kenya is not alone – African clothes are not permitted in many parliaments across the continent.

Africa Daily’s Alan Kasujja has been speaking to Senator Gloria Orwoba about her specific challenges around being a female in Senate and historian Godfrey Sang told him more about the evolution of African attire.
