Deputy Finance Minister for Revenue, Mrs. Alfreda Tamba, caused uproar at the House of Representatives Tuesday when she was stopped from taking oath and asked out of the Chambers due to "improper dress code."
She was in readiness to raise her hands when the Sergeant-At-Arms noticed the exposed parts of some of her body and approached the Deputy Speaker who was presiding.
It was then ruled that the Minister should leave and return properly dressed.
"Madam Minister, it has been brought to the attention of the Chair that you are not properly dressed. We ask that you come back in the next 30 minutes properly dress," said Deputy Speaker Togbah Mulbah.
But Minister Tamba rejected the decision and said she would not return, insisting that she was properly dressed.
However, some legislators disagreed with the dress code decision after the Minister's departure, but the majority said the decision was right. Minister Tamba was at The House to explain the payment of real estate taxes for additional revenue.
