The government is saving over Sh700m in the making of police uniforms locally, Interior CS Fred Matiang'i has said. "It is foolishness to spend our resources to import things we can get here in Kenya," Matiang'i said. The CS further directed government ministries who make their uniforms to do so locally and not importing them. The money we use for these goods and services is not our money... isn't it wise to support local content?" Matiang'i said sewing the uniforms locally was a way to support Kenya's economy and create employment.
