Corporal Linda Okello (pictured), a Kenyan policewoman, was reportedly reprimanded by her seniors over her tight uniform. Since then, her picture has gone viral and has been met with social media outrage, with some attempting to protect Okello and others insisting that the seniors were right to put her under scrutiny. Either way, a notice signed by a Leo N. Ijora, said: “Issues of Police misconduct were raised and the most noticeable one was a matter on how some of the police officers wear uniform. It was noted with a lot of concern that male police officers wear different types of socks, unmarching [sic] long trousers, coloured visible vests and bangles among other metals, whereas women officers have dreadlocks, “Afro” hair, big earrings, unnecessary bangles, and lipstick. Fashionable wear is only good when one is on leave. Do you think it is fair that Okello is being singled out or do you think she had it coming?
