Kenya’s government has ordered civil servants towear locally tailored clothes to work on Fridays and during public holidays.
The order is meant to boost the local manufacturingindustry, a key plank in President Uhuru’s Kenyatta so-called Big 4 Agenda.
The order was communicated in a circular signed bySolicitor-General Kennedy Ogeto, who has confirmed its authenticity to Kenya’sDaily Nation newspaper.
It is unclear whether there will be disciplinarymeasures against those who don’t comply.
President Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto ledby example during Sunday’s Heroes’ Day celebrations in the coastal city ofMombasa, wearing Kenyan-made attires.
