A member of the National Super Alliance (NASA) campaign team has revealed that the Alliance plans to change the country's dress code once elected into power.
Economist David Ndii, who is a member of the NASA technical team, divulged that the Opposition would change the official dress code in an effort to develop the country's garment industry.
According to the plan, the Alliance will introduce new regulations to allow men and women wear local/African wear in the offices and also urge the private sector to do the same.
This, the Opposition believes will help improve the garment and textile sector which has in the past been performing poorly leading to massive importation of clothes.
To further enhance the local manufacturing industry, a NASA government will support the local fashion industry so as to make locally made garments more appealing and dynamic.
The Opposition, if it wins in the August General Election, will put special attention on a sophisticated domestic industry because of “its job creating potential”.
This comes a day after such a move was made in Uganda which has introduced a strict new official dress code sparking countrywide anger.
The Ugandan administration has banned civil servants from wearing dresses reaching above the knee, having long nails with colour and dyed hair.
