National Assembly Majority leader Kimani Ichung’wah has alleged that some two male MPs are fond of sneaking women into Parliament.
While addressing Parliament on Tuesday, Ichung’wah said that the act jeopardises the security of the House.
He, however, did not mention names threatening that he would expose them if they repeated it.
"On one or two occasions, you will find members inviting non-members into the member's lounge. There are areas designated for visitors and others are strictly for sitting members," he said.
"It is members who are inviting their visitors and while that place is designated for sitting members, it is because that is where members go and caucus and lobby each other and we may not be able to do that comfortably when you have strangers next to you."
The legislator said that places that are designated for sitting members should be strictly followed.
He called on the Speaker to remind the MPs of the rules that apply to the House and its premises.
"I was shocked one of these Wednesday evenings when the House sits till 9:00 pm, to walk to the member's bar, I will not name the two members who had invited visitors to the member's bar but should the same happen, I will be relying the names to your office so that you also take action," he said.
Ichung’wah said the bar is strictly for the sitting members and if outsiders are invited it makes it uncomfortable to socialise with fellow colleagues.
"You can imagine the embarrassment you face when you go to socialise with fellow members but you find female aliens," he added.
The rules of the Speaker of the House state that a visitor shall not, without special permission, enter or be allowed to remain in any part of the Parliamentary Buildings or gardens after 8.00 pm.
"Visitors nor shall any Member or Parliamentary officer, without special permission, admit or keep more than two visitors as his or her guests after 6.00 p.m"
Visitors are required to have a pass bearing that day's date issued to him or her and signed by the Clerk or a parliamentary officer or a permanent pass signed by the Speaker or the Clerk.
