Lucky Mbabazi now impressed with new traffic police uniform after slamming it
Yesterday Uganda Police Force de-gazetted four of its 17 uniforms. The de-gazetted uniforms included the white traffic, Brown camouflage won by the Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ASTU) officers, the blue Marine police uniform, and the dark blue uniforms won by Aviation Police Officers.
Traffic police personnel are now wearing a khaki uniform, accompanied by an ashy beret while female traffic officers will be wearing khaki and white caps. All ASTU police officers are now cladding on the Field Force Unit camouflage uniform, Marine police wearing khaki and blue caps while Aviation police putting on the Counter-Terrorism unit uniform.
The decision was based on a resolution by the Police Council that sat on November 18, 2019, and decided to reduce police uniforms from 17 to 13. The council also resolved to design uniforms, particularly for females as opposed to giving them general uniforms.
The Assistant Inspector-General of Police- AIGP Asan Kasingye, who is the chairman of the police uniform committee says all the uniforms have been made by the force’s garment factory. Each police personnel including detectives will be availed with two pairs of uniforms.
But it is the Traffic Uniform that did not impress citizens, to be specific the Netizens! Many of them believe the fashion designer could have done more. They have since taken to social media and trolled Afande Lawrence Nuwabiine’s men.
However some of them including media personality, Lucky Mbabazi are beginning to change their mind towards the bizarre uniform.
Lucky Mbabazi now claims; “It’s not what you wear but how you wear it. I thought i didn’t like this new police uniform but this officer gave it life”, she captioned a pic of a smart female police officer on duty.
