How acquisition of Eurobond is easier than Police new uniforms

The New police Uniform has received a lot of delay in its full implementation to be the official uniform for the police. Despite the fact that it was launched last year the state is  still struggling to find the source.

But how do they launch something they did not have proper plans to ensure its implementation?

Some people have argued that if it was Eurobond then right now it could have been used half way.

Police officers will have to wait for at least 2 years to get all the required sets of the new Persian blue police uniform, which are being manufactured locally, according to Police Spokesman Charles Owino.

All the 60,000 General Duty Officers were expected to wear the new uniform December last year, but it did not happen, raising concerns on local manufacturers capacity to produce the uniforms even as Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi defended them.

Only a few senior officers have been seen wearing the new Persian blue uniform but Owino says there is no cause for alarm, as more resources are set to be channeled towards the acquisition.

Matiangi had in December complained of intense pressure from people he described as “all manner of thieves for the government to import the new police uniform,” on grounds that the local textile industry has no sufficient material to produce it.

On Thursday, Owino said that in the next 12 months, all officers will have at least one pair of the new uniform, but they will have to continue using the old one until it is completely phased out and all pairs ready.
