It is right for Uganda's government to issue a directive on decent dressing because it wants to nurture and build a morally upright society.

Dressing code gives the public image of an individual. Sometimes such individuals serve as role models in the society. Therefore, civil servants and other people should wear clothes that do not portray them in negative light.
