Foreign Affairs CS Ababu Namwamba has faced public backlash after dressing like a Congolese Artist while on an official trip to represent President Uhuru Kenyatta in South Africa.
Social media users could not stop commenting on his Facebook wall after he posted a photo of himself clad in faded, ripped jeans and sunglasses.
Kenyans on social media wondered what example he was showing to the foreign nations when he is expected to represent the Head of State.
Unperturbed, Ababu came out in his defence. He said that his dress code should not be a major issue since he was working as delegated by the President.
Before his return, he reignited the debate after posting; “Just got to love KOT, don’t you! Enjoyed this “Ababu-Terrah clad” brouhaha amidst the bustle of preparing to return home from representing my boss, my President in Pretoria. On dress code thingie, I travel easy, and dress smart for officials. Denim is dope. Thaz my style buddiez!”
