Check out photos of the new police uniform that President Uhuru says will improve their “visibility”.
BIG QUESTION: Who hasn’t been seeing our police officers? Looks like security guards to me. This is a diversion of our attention from more important matters!
Police uniform has never been an issue! Proper working conditions, accommodation, remuneration are more critical issues.
BUT THEN AGAIN; Who got the TENDER for the new uniform, anyway? Hilo ndilo swala nyeti.
We are a peculiar people!
Our police officers live in some of the most deplorable shanties known to mankind, are among the poorly paid, with terrible medical insurance coverage, and terrible working conditions.
It’s obvious that such working conditions would negatively affect their morale.
Jubilee’s solution to all those problems is to give them a new uniform.
Awuoro! Stay tuned for more Jubilee Chinese jokes
