On Wednesday, MKU gave a circular on a memo detailing the dress code for students. According to the memo, students should not wear clothes or pants revealing their private parts to school. The Dean of students Martin Muiruri said that those students who do not comply with the dress code rules will be given a warning then sent back home to dress appropriately. After the third warning, the student will be referred to a disciplinary committee.

For the male students, they are expected to have well-groomed hair and the ladies should not wear see-through clothes, bare-backs, those showing the belly, low cleavage attire or micro-minis within the school’s premises. It is going to be tough for the students who were accustomed to the new way of dressing. Mount Kenya University joins Strathmore and Daystar University whose admission letter comes along with a set of dress code rules.
Below are some of the reactions:
@TheStarKenya that’s great they used to walk half naked to class you would even wonder how lecturers survived

A few Kenyans tried to picture who short/reveaing these dresses were.
A few of the people were pleased with the move, some requested that the rule be made mandatory among all university schools.
Great.Restoring our moral values

Indeed the public had noticed their indecent dressing, and hoped that the same was rectified. It’s against our morals to be in a public place dressed in a certain manner.
Mount Kenya University students to dress well No miniskirts, skimpy clothes, skin tights, and other dressing codes that the youths adore. The MKU students will be looking like a jeshi la wokovu choir or a given choir. how is that directive !😂😂😂😂😂😂
