Kenyan MP Farah Maalim censured for wearing Palestine scarf
During parliamentary proceedings in Kenya, an MP, Farah Maalim, was instructed to remove a traditional Palestinian scarf he was wearing.
He had donned the scarf in a show of solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza amid the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The speaker of the National Assembly ordered the MP to remove the scarf, citing a violation of parliamentary rules.
Other MPs also criticized him for not following the House rules.
This incident occurred shortly after Kenyan police briefly detained three individuals for their participation in a pro-Palestinian gathering in Nairobi.
President William Ruto has expressed full government support for Israel in the ongoing conflict.
