Momba MP Condester Sichwale was kicked out by Speaker Job Ndugai on Tuesday, June 1, after a complaint voiced by another MP over her dressing.
Nyang'wale MP Hussein Amar, who is from the same party as Sichwale, spoke against her dressing just after a session of questions and answers, according to Global Publishers.
In a video shared extensively on social media, Amar could be heard speaking against his colleague, noting the parliament was a mirror of society; hence they needed to be a good example.
"Parliament is a mirror of society and Tanzania, and some of our sisters are wearing strange clothes and are legislators. What are they showing to the society?" Amar said amid cheers from the rest.
Speaker Ndugai asked that he names who he was referring to, and he did this by giving directions and the colour of her outfit, at no time mentioning her name.

Ndugai politely asked the female MP to leave and dress properly to be allowed back in parliament.
This shows how the fight for women's rights is still far from successful, with many countries still stringent on how women dress in public.

Man criticises dressing of Nigerian gospel singer
Recently, a Nigerian evangelist, Victor Edet, accused newly 'born-again' gospel singer, Chidinma of holding on to the things of Satan.
In a Facebook post, the man of God stated that people often change their lives completely when they become born again.
However, in the case of Chidinma, she still dresses the same way she used to before she decided to go back to the church.
Edet opined that things such as makeup, jewellery, cosmetic extensions are of the devil and that Chidinma ought not to dress that way anymore.
His post went viral and had netizens sharing their thoughts on his opinion, many of whom slammed him over it.
