Wavinya Ndeti sets record straight on her dress code: “I don’t dress cheap, I have taste”

Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti has remarked on her clothing code once more, months after it caused an internet debate.

The governor, speaking to Citizen TV on Monday night, stated that the outfit she was wearing in the photo was not the issue; rather, it was the angle from which the shot was taken.

Ndeti stated that she has a decent taste and that the outfit in question was purchased in Germany.

“When you look back I am a good dresser and also I don’t dress cheap. I have taste, I like good things and I don’t wear cheap things. By the way that suit is very expensive, it is from Germany only that I lost a little weight… hii kazi imefanya nikonde kidogo,” she said.

She went on to say that her dress code is always decided by her surroundings, and that she dresses differently when dealing with citizens on the ground.

“Ukinikuta huko mashinani utashangaa, unavaa rubber shoes, unavaa biker na kitenge na unaingia ground hata kitambaa unafunga, sio saa yote ati nikuwe…you know..” she said.

Kenyans in November last year had called out the governor for ‘dressing poorly’ while addressing her county residents during her birthday.

Twitter users had on Tuesday called her out for the way she was dressed.

Some joked that she had employed the tailor who was sacked by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

The DP was the tail of memes over his dress during campaigns and shortly after the elections.

Ndeti promised to mind her dress, adding that she is ‘blundered’ owing to her focus that is now on the needs of citizens.
