A male MP said the way some women dressed invited ridicule to parliament.

"Mr Speaker, an example there is my sister seated on my right with a yellow shirt. Look at the trousers she has worn, Mr Speaker!" Hussein Amar said in parliament on Tuesday.

The MP was ordered to leave parliament after a complaint about her "tight fitting" trousers.

Female MPs in Tanzania have called for an apology to an MP who was ordered to leave parliament because of her trousers.

The Speaker then ordered the MP, Condester Sichwale, to leave.

"Go dress up well, and then join us back later," said the Speaker Job Ndugai.

He added that this was not the first complaint he had received about female Member of Parliaments' attire, and told chamber orderlies to deny entry to anyone who was inappropriately dressed.

While Mr Amar did not elaborate on what he found wrong with Ms Sichwale's outfit, he quoted the parliamentary rules which allow women to wear trousers but stipulate that clothes should not be tight-fitting. He was unavailable to answer the BBC's request for comment.

A group led by MPs Jacqueline Ngonyani & Stella Manyanya insist that the move was unfair and that there was nothing wrong with Ms Sichwale's clothes.

The incident has also attracted comments on social media from around the world, with some saying it was another example of men policing how women dress.

Those are tight fitting pants? How fucking regressive are they there? They'd have heart palpitations if they see a woman in yoga pants.

I honestly believe that this is what it boiled down to. Someone got a hard on and complained.

To be fair, both men and women are staring but the gentlemen were kind enough to rotate their chair to get a good look. She must have felt thoroughly embarrassed though, seriously.
