“The measures will include; change official dress code to allow men to wear and encourage women also to wear African wear in the offices. Encourage the private sector to the same,” the Nasa manifesto states.
The opposition alliance also intends to develop the textile industry in order to create job opportunities.
“Support the local fashion industry so as to make our locally made garments more appealing and dynamic,” read Nasa’s second measure towards an improved textile industry.
Ndii’s tweet on the same elicited mixed reactions online with some users in support of the move while others stated that the Jubilee government was already improving the said sector.
