The ban on miniskirts in Tanzania to curb the HIV/Aids menace has been jeered by youths from Molo.
The youths said the decision was populist than objective.
Kennedy Kamau said he was supportive of the economic changes being spearheaded by Tanzania President John Pombe Maghufuli but his approach to curbing the deadly disease was questionable.
"I have been admiring Maghufuli's economic moves. However, on the miniskirts issue, it sounds odd as a way to fight and control HIV/Aids menace."
Jane Wanjiru said the decision was brilliant since some miniskirts were too short but she also wondered how miniskirts ban alone could help control HIV/Aids.
"I agree that some miniskirts are very provocative and need to be checked. I have a feeling that banning miniskirts alone will not be a solution to control the said disease."
Mary Njambi, echoed the sentiments that the decision was good but it could not practical when applied without proposing character and moral change.
"Surely, some miniskirts are unpleasant. I support the ban. Controlling HIV/Aids goes beyond dressing change, character and moral change is the most important issue to deal with." According to reports by a local daily, the President of our neighbouring state of Tanzania had ordered ban of miniskirts in the country to curb HIV/Aids.
