Furious Senator Khalwale, well known as the bull-fighter, has lectured two female Senators who entered the Senate chambers dressed inappropriately.
Khalwale asserted that unnecessary demonstrations should not be used to deliver a message.
Senator Khalwale urged the Speaker not to allow the Senate to be defined by the immaturity and excitement of just a few potatoes.

Due to their unsuitable attire, nominated Senators Karen Nyamu and Gloria Orwabo were expelled from the Senate on Tuesday.
Controversial Senator Karen Nyamu entered the Senate in violation of parliamentary regulations by donning a kitenge skirt and a sleeveless blouse that revealed her arms.
Senator Khalwale warned Gloria Orwabo against starting her political career wrongly. Khalwale slammed Karen Nyamu for not being able to win any election even after changing constituencies.
Eddy Oketch, a senator from Migori, also petitioned the Speaker on Gloria's dress code, which he claimed had embarrassed the House.
Senator Nyamu was ejected from the Senate by Senate Speaker Amason Kingi after finding that she had broken the dress code regulations.
The Speaker's rules on dress code require female Members of Parliament to wear decent formal or business wear.
Before expelling Senator Nyamu, Kingi read the Speaker's Rule number 5, which states. No Senator can enter the chamber, lounge, or dining room without being appropriately dressed.
According to the senate rule as read by speaker Amason Kingi, male Senators will be dressed in a coat, collar, tie, long trousers, socks and shoes or service uniform, religious attire, or such decent dressing as may be approved by the Speaker from time to time. The Speaker said an equivalent standard should apply for women senators who may also wear kitenges or other African attire.
For Gloria Orwabo, the Speaker just sent her out to dress up appropriately and return for the next session. The Senate later resumed its Second Session, the 4th Senate, on Tuesday after the long recess.
