National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has warned legislators against wearing party colours or coordinated attire in Parliament, following a protest over 13 Members of Parliament from the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) displaying their party colours.

The Speaker ruled that while it wasn't immediately determined to be prohibited party insignia, coordinated party attire for political messaging is generally not allowed.
Key figures involved include Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and Dagoretti South MP John Kiarie, who raised the initial objection.
The incident occurred during the first sitting after a recess, and the Speaker cited a past exception during a special swearing-in ceremony.
