Two Ghanaian women were reportedly prevented from entering 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 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.

Musician, Mzbel also suffered a similar experience in 2015. She took to her Instagram page to also complain about an encounter at the Flagstaff House where she was blocked from entry, also for supposedly failing to meet a certain unwritten dress code.
