During a candid media interview, Gen. Nalweyiso emphasized that Alien Skin, who is not a member of the armed forces, must cease donning military uniforms.
She firmly stated, "I have immediately refused that. Alien Skin, remove our uniform. If you want to put it on, then join the army. Except if you have a document that legalizes you to wear it. Please remove our combat."
Gen. Nalweyiso's statement comes on the heels of growing concerns about Alien Skin's frequent appearances in camouflage clothing, which have sparked debates over the legality and appropriateness of civilians wearing military gear.
Highlighting the seriousness of the issue, Gen. Nalweyiso announced her intention to involve security authorities to ensure the matter is addressed swiftly. "I therefore instruct security authorities to get into this matter before it’s too late," she declared.
The directive aims to reinforce the regulations surrounding military attire, reserving its use exclusively for those serving in the armed forces or individuals with explicit authorization.
It also remains to be seen what actions the authorities will take to enforce compliance with the dress code regulations. Fans and the general public are keenly watching, making this a notable intersection of pop culture and military protocol in Uganda.
