The missing point in bid to actualise police reforms

When the picture of Linda Okello in a tight skirt caused an uproar on social media, the Police department went ahead to reprimand her.

Well, the dress maybe inappropriate for her career, but why were Kenyans on social media quick to judge her in avalanche of comments, yet there are several ladies in many offices who dress in more weird outfits than Linda.

Linda has been working in the police service for over ten years and she probably is aware of the consequences of inappropriate dressing within the service. In her defence, Linda Okello said that the tightnening of her skirt was due to her body growth. The defence by the police officer may be justified. The question is, did Linda decide to reduce the uniform to fit her?

If you have been keen, you might have noticed that a number of police officers wear faded uniform. What this means is that the service doesn’t regularly supply the police officers with new uniform .The prison department is no different, its officers wear faded uniform.
