Tanzanian lawmakers will no longer be able to come and go as they please and dressed as they want in carries out their duties in parliament.
Lawmakers in Tanzania have been banned from entering parliament with fake nails and eyelashes.
Speaker Job Ndugai told BBC he had imposed the ban after Deputy Health Minister Faustine Ndugulile had raised concerns about the health risks posed by fake nails and eye lashes.
The ban would also apply to visitors to parliament, he said.
Meanwhile, Tanzanian President John Magufuli has condemned the use of contraception and urged Tanzanians to continue reproducing.
Speaking during a public rally on Sunday, Magufuli said only ‘lazy people’ use birth control.
“You have cattle. You are big farmers. You can feed your children. Why then resort to birth control? This is my opinion, I see no reason to control births in Tanzania.
He cited the declining population growth in parts of Europe that has led to a workforce crisis.
Tanzania is currently the most populous east African nation with a population of around 60 million people, up from 10 million at independence in 1961.
