Pardon if my post looks funny, I'm doing this from a phone. its illegal Why do they then allow sale of camo shorts and trousers in outlets in kenya for kids? Or are there specific colors? You can be charged with personation under Penal Code Section 382 and 384 of the Penal Code do you mean impersonation? nope its personation... from the word personate;TO PERSONATE, crim. law. The act of assuming the character of another without lawful authority, and, in such character, doing something to his prejudice, or to the prejudice of another, without his will or consent. Section 382 and 384 of the Penal Code and Secrtion 101 (1) of the National police Service Act and Section 279 of the Kenya Defence Forces Act CAP 25 will sort out any person puttting on Combat gear. Imprisonment is 1 year...but this are archaic laws that we should do away with.. The combat gear must be proven to be authnetic bro....hapo ndio iko chida!!!! They normally take your photo while wearing the combat and anyway by the time you get to that stage you will have suffered in remand if you can't raise the bail.However smart cops would rather confiscate the combat and release you on freebond and then hire out the combat to gangsters or sell it. so how often do they hire you? The KDF Act does not apply to civilians. You cannot charge a civilian under the KDF Act. WHO DARES WINS

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Archaic laws! Why do you want to put on combat gear, whether authentic or otherwise, if you are not a policeman or KDF? In this Al shabaab era, you are putting yourself at risk. But again why? Kama unataka kuingia jeshi, si u apply and put on official clothes. Assume there was a uniform for prezzo, then every tom, dick and harry puts on the same attire. would it be nice? I see guys doing that as childish and growing up slowly. I have never respected them while clad in those tu cheap camoz.  Portfolio: Sold
You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.

You are at liberty to wear what you want so long as it hurts nobody. If I may ask why do you wear a suit or any other item of clothing and you are not a EUROPEAN for that matter? @Impunity...Asi...when did you grow up?

Thanks for the feedback guys. Dangerous conclusion. Especially when one can commit a crime with a 'mbonoko'. The critical matter here is how the police perceive you and how you are conducting yourself. Then you can show that the clothes aren't 'authentic'. And I think you also need to know people. I hope Mcreggae can rescue you from officers.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Hope you'll have enough time to convince al shabab that it's fake before they behead you. Or convince the cops before they shoot the 'most wanted criminal who has been posing as a cop in stolen police/military uniform'.
