On November 15, 2019, President Uhuru Kenyatta and First Lady Margaret Kenyatta made a statement at the African Philanthropy forum at Strathmore University Business school by wearing 'Made in Kenya' outfits.
The event was part of President Uhuru Kenyatta's Big 4 agenda, which aims to promote local manufacturing.
According to a circular issued by the office of the Attorney General on October 17, civil servants are required to wear 'Made in Kenya' outfits on Fridays and public holidays.
The President and First Lady's choice of attire was a royal blue shirt with brown 'kitenge' pattern and a jungle green dress with circular orange and black patterns, respectively.
Rivatex East Africa Limited, the manufacturer of the fabric, took to social media to express pride in dressing the head of state, saying, 'We should all follow suit by embracing #Made in #Kenya fabric.'
