Ugandan musician-turned-politician Bobi Wine could find himself in trouble for wearing his signature red beret.
This is after the Ugandan government on Monday declared red berets and tunic as official military uniform, essentially banning civilians from wearing them.
The order was issued in a gazette notice outlining what constitutes military clothing.
“The public is hereby informed that the marks, accessories, insignia, decorations and uniforms specified in the Schedule of this notice are property of the State or classified stores and anyone found in unlawful possession, selling or dealing in them shall be prosecuted under the Uganda People’s Defence ForcesAct, 2005,” reads part of the notice.
Red, black, maroon, navy-blue and green coloured berets have been designated for the military, according to the gazette notice.
