'The Minister went at the Capitol dressed in a black horizontal stripy sleeveless jacket over a sleeveless blouse with similar long black-stripy pants to match'

Another version reads: 'deputy minister Tamba was wearing a navy-blue sleeveless trousers suit designed like a coat suit'

Wow, firstly, she was wearing a suit designed as a suit. that's a suit, that's the style. Sleeveless tops are common women wear even in work places and high offices all over the world.

But the question is: IS THE SO-CALLED DRESS CODE COMMUNICATED TO ALL GOVERNMENT MINISTERS AND OFFICIALS IN ADVANCE? IF YES THEN, I REST MY CASE.

IF NOT, THEN THE MINISTER WAS UNFAIRLY DISGRACED. SHE WAS WEARING A SUIT AND BESIDES SLEEVELESS TOP IS A COMMON WOMEN'S WEAR. ASSUMING SHE WAS WEARING A DRESS THAT WAS NON LONG-SLEEVED, WOULD SHE BE THROWN OUT? OR IF SHE WAS IN A ARICAN ATTTIRE WOULD SHE BE THROWN OUT (THIS IS AN AFRICAN COUNTRY). WE TRY TO WESTERNIZE EVERYTHING. MOREOVER, EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE KNEW SHE WAS TO APPEAR THAT DAY TO ADDRESS THE BODY. WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE INFORMED HER OF THE WAY SHE WAS DRESSED AS SOON AS SHE ENTERED THE COMPOUND/GROUNDS OF THE CAPITOL OR MORESO WHEN SHE ENTERED THE BUILDING. DID WE NOT KNOW WHO WAS GOING TO ADDRESS US OR WHO WE INVITED TO FACE US? WHY WAIT FOR HER TO ASCENT THE PODIUM AND THEN DECIDE TO OPENLY DISGRACE HER? SHE DESERVES AN APOLOGY FORM THE BODY, OPENLY AND THROUGH FORMAL COMMUNICATION.

I STRONGLY BELIEVE SHE SHOULD HAVE COMPLETED HER TASK AND THE BODY IF SO DESIRE COULD HAVE HANDLY THE MATTER IN-HOUSE DIPLOMATICALLY AND ON A MINISTRY TO HOUSE BASIS. THIS IS NOT JUST A DISGRACE TO HER BUT, ALL WOMEN IN THE GOVERNMENT. THIS IS JUST NOT RIGHT.

IF WE WANT TO BE JUST AND FAIR WHY CAN'T WE DO A SYSTEMS AND OR STAFF AUDIT AND ROOT OUT ANYONE WHO IS NOT A COLLEGE GRADUATE AND OR WHO POSSESS AN ILL EARNED DEGREE?

THIS IS MY HONEST VIEW AWAITING A RESPONSE AND OR REBUTTAL

There'll be replies on yes.I'm just totally sadden by the manner in which the the "Honourable House" disgraced our onetime winner of some of the "Best Dressed Ladies in Monrovia" I can boast to say that this Lady knows colours when it comes to dressing.

It was rather unfortunate,that some one who did not know about "Dress Code" raised an alarm in the middle of the program,that blinded the whole House by not noticing their mistakes, in asking the Honourable Minister to go and dress properly.More humiliating,Minister Tamba was given 3o minutes to return.

Representative, Richard Holder, discribed it as a "shame on the Honourable Body.This is just a test case for the House.More proactive measure must be put in place to avoid another mistake in the future. The "Sergeant-At-Arms,Gen.Martin Johnson" also made a big blunder.
