  "account": "Nairobi, Kenya — President William Ruto unveiled a redesigned General Duty police uniform for expectant officers, more than 6,000 new recruits who graduated from the National Police College in Kiganjo on Friday. The new attire introduces a dual-tone combination of light sky-blue and deep navy-blue, replacing the previous all-blue appearance for both male and female officers. The standard outfit includes a light sky-blue short-sleeved shirt, deep navy-blue trousers, a navy-blue beret or peak cap with the official police insignia, polished black leather boots, and additional features such as lanyard attachment loops and reinforced stitching. The uniform change began on August 31 and aims to boost the morale of officers, particularly new recruits.",
