Kenyans are not proud of the new Kenya Police uniforms recently unveiled by president Uhuru Kenyatta. In the new changes, the President said the Persian-blue shirt/blouse, trousers and beret are for better “visibility” but Kenyans took to social media to mock the new uniforms which many claimed were just ugly.

Old school

It seems Tanzanian have also jumped on the trolls and were quick to tell Kenyans that the uniforms should be rejected. BBC Swahili asked its followers to comment on the new uniforms with a majority of those commenting being Tanzanians. Many hated them.

Here are some of the comments:

Edwin Kweyamba wrote, “Sisi kwetu Tz hizi sare wanavaaa sungusungu na makampuni binafsi ya ulinzi .”

Asanteelly Charles said, “Mimi naona iko poa ila tatizo inafanana na nguo zetu za kazi kwenye karakana yetu.”

Dickshop Sitiphin commented, “Sale nzuli tu shida mazoezi hakuna. Sasa wote wanaonekana vitambi.”

John S M Mgejwa questioned, “Mbona zina mifuko mikubwa? Wana maana gani? Mifuko inachochea rushwa!!”

Stephano Matiko stated, “Rangi ni suri ila tatizo lilko kwenye aina mshono/design/mtindo itawapendeza watu wanene na maofisaa tu lakini sio wenye vyeo mikono na p/c nashauri kama wataona inafaa kiunoni iwe na kamba na tumboni mkanda. Muhimu sare mpya maana yake utendaji kazi uwe mzuri na watende haki kwa wote kwa usawa. Asanteni.”

Kalistus Njogopa commented, “Mavazi yamekaa kirushwa rushwa tu  Mifuko mikubwa kama ya kuwekea choroko.”

Yericko Nyerere wrote, “Ni sare nzuri, lakini imekaa na nembo kama ya Ghana vile, uhalisia wa ukenya siuoni.”

Castato Matovu stated, “Swala sio muonekano wa nguo bali weledi na kutenda kazi kwa haki bila hivyo hata wavae nguo za dhahabu ni kazi buree.”
