In March, Namwamba found himself at the receiving end when Kenyans on Twitter made fun of his dress code while on an official visit to South Africa.
His dress code caught the attention of Kenyans as some roasted him for dressing like a “Congolese musician” yet he was on official duty to represent the Head of State.
Many said that they have known Ababu Namwamba for his impeccable sense of fashion, but were surprised by his dress code on arrival in South Africa.
