Kiambu, Kenya: There was outrage on social media following reports of a female policewoman  reprimanded by her seniors over her dressing.  The police woman had been pictured wearing a skirt which was considered tight and the picture went viral on social media. The corporal traffic police officer based at Kiambu police division Linda Okello was summoned by the local county commander James Mugeria and reprimanded over her dress code, which was termed as indecent. Officials in Kiambu said the summoning was procedural and the officer had been allowed to go on with her duties. “The county commander called her for a warning over the pictures that have circulated widely showing her in a tight skirt. It was a normal issue and she was informed to start dressing well,” said a senior police officer aware of the incident. The officer was on duty at the weekend when she was pictured together with her colleague in Kiambu. 
The information on the reprimanding attracted outrage on social media with most of those contributing saying her crime was to wear a small skirt. “The policewoman who was wearing a uniform provided by the government is being targeted by superior officers for a crime which is not her own,” said Robert Alai.
