Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has proposed a complete ban on school uniforms in Kenya, deeming the requirement an expensive and "outdated British mentality."

• Passaris cited the prohibitive cost of uniforms, sometimes reaching up to KSh 30,000, as a major burden on parents, especially those in informal settlements.
• The ODM legislator aims to present a motion or bill in Parliament to challenge the mandatory uniform policy.
• She pointed to countries like France and the United States as examples where students succeed academically without uniforms, suggesting a shift away from colonial-era requirements.
