| Kathleen and Jemima |
Two Ghanaian women, pictured above, were reportedly prevented from entering the Ghanaian parliament on Wednesday for “indecent dressing.”
One of the ladies, Kathleen Addy, obviously incensed by the altercation with the police, took to her Facebook page to tell the world about her experience.
She explained that she had gone to the House (parliament) with her friend, Jemima Nunoo to attend to some private matters, only for the police to rudely block them from entering the main foyer.
Kathleen says their second attempt to use the main entrance was met by fierce resistance by the security officials on duty.

INDECENT LADIES
So Jemima Nunoo and I went to a meeting in parliament today at the new office block know as Job 600. We arrived at the meeting separately but we both had to deal with the most ridiculous situation at the entrance....
APPARENTLY BOTH OF US LOOK TOO INDECENT FOR PARLIAMENT.
The policeman took one look at me and decided my dress is too short. He told Jemima he dress is too low cut in front. In fact he advice her to get a scarf to cover up.
I think it is the most preposterous and sexist dress code. I don't know who came up with those ridiculous rules but I think it's backward. I'm going back to parliament to investigate, I need to know who set the rules and what informed the decision. I will take along a tape measure to help them out.
Someone please tag a parliamentarian for me!!!!
What do you guys think?? I mean, is there another dictionary meaning for 'indecent' that I am not privy to?
