Kenya: MP Gidion Mbuvi's ejected for earrings

A Kenyan lawmaker has been kicked out of parliament for wearing ear studs adorned with precious stones.

Gidion Mbuvi, who also had sunglasses, was excluded from a session after other MPs decided that the way he dressed offended the dignity of the assembly.

Deputy Speaker Farah Maalim said the house had never before been entered by a male lawmaker wearing earrings.

But supporters of the 35-year-old Mr Mbuvi, who is nicknamed "rich man", accused Mr Maalim of intolerance.
