A member of parliament from Kenya was told to take off a traditional scarf from Palestine that he was wearing during a meeting at the parliament.
Farah Maalim said he wore the scarf to show support to the Palestinians in Gaza during the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
He said Kenya should support Palestine.
But the person in charge of the National Assembly told the MP to take off the scarf because it went against the rules of the parliament.
Other Members of Parliament also criticized the lawmaker for not following the rules of the House and showing a lack of respect.
It happened a few days after the police in Kenya briefly held three people who were involved in a meeting supporting Palestine in the capital city, Nairobi.
President William Ruto has said that his government fully supports Israel in the current conflict.
