Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet has warned Kenyans against wearing clothes that resemble uniforms worn by military or police officers.
In a statement on Tuesday, Boinnet says those found wearing such clothes will be arrested and charged in court.
"Our attention has been drawn to the growing tendency by some persons to don attire resembling police or military uniforms which is creating confusion amongst members of the public as to who is a genuine member of any of our security agencies," Boinnet says a statement.
Boinnet says it's illegal to wear clothes similar to those given to security officers and has directed police to arrest anyone with such clothes.
"This practice must stop as it is against the law to wear clothing that has any resemblance to Military or Police uniforms," the statement reads on.
"The Inspector General has therefore issued instructions to all Police Officers to arrest and charge in court anyone found wearing such attire."
Section 101 of the National Police Service Act states that those found guilty of the offense are liable to a fine not exceeding Sh1 million or a 10-year jail term or both.
During campaigns for 2017 elections, different groups including Jubilee party women brigade, which was led by Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru, were spotted wearing military fatigue.
Another group that referred to itself as Nairobi Business Community and which aligned itself to Jubilee party also made public appearances in military gear.

Boinett himself is a fake PCEA women’s group member. He stole their Ugly blue color.
That Blue is the Ugliest blue on earth for a uniform.
How about the boy in statehouse wearing a costume in the design of a military uniform?
Why "the boy"? Last I heard, he was a grandfather. You need to zoom his picture to see that is a grown a** man with more white hair than you. If you need glasses I will buy you a pair.
That's the name he goes by. I'm just translating to English from his vernacular.
It is common knowledge that the Kenya Police stole the Ugly Blue color from PCEA women’s group.
The Kenya police has no shame.
is wearing another country's or a fake combat illegal too?
Boinnet round up all these fake generals in this picture.
