Political and Diplomacy Secretary Tom Amolo said this is in a bid to increase awareness of Kenya’s cultural richness. “This is to generate interest in the country heritage which ultimately leads to clearer mindset about our past and robust projection to our future,” Amolo said. Noting that Kenya is endowed with richness and varied fabrics as well as diverse fashion styles, the diplomat urged the public to wear any Kenyan attire or any attire from any country in Africa.

He further identified clothing as a tool for self expression, social activism, and public diplomacy. “World leaders often wear traditional clothing to interact with foreign publics and to advance cultural understanding,” “We would rather be known as ‘African than near Europe,” he said.
