There was drama in the Kenyan parliament on Wednesday, when an MP entered the chambers with her five-month-old breastfeeding baby.

Kwale Woman Representative Zuleika Hassan was eventually ejected after the temporary Speaker ordered the sergeant-at-arms to show her the door. It all boiled down to an old rule common in many parliaments that “strangers” cannot step on the floor of the House during proceedings.
