A Ramogi TV presenter has found herself at the centre of a heated online debate after her on-air outfit caught the attention of thousands of Kenyans.
Glyn Ramogi Nyar Nyakach hosts Thum Dag Mor, an entertainment show on the Luo-language station, and it was a photo from one of her recent appearances that set social media alight.
She was dressed in a bright green short-sleeved top with a small collar, paired with a red skort — a style of bottom wear that combines shorts with an overlapping fabric panel to resemble a skirt, featuring three gold buttons down the front.
She accessorised with dangling red earrings, a thin necklace and a bracelet, her braids styled into a high updo, and she held a dark tablet in both hands as she faced the camera.
The image spread quickly, drawing a flood of comments from people with starkly different opinions on whether the look was suitable for a professional broadcast setting.
Some viewers were blunt in their disapproval. Jakanyala Wilson Okombo quipped:
“Came with a handkerchief in the name of a skirt,” while Joseph Omburo was equally direct: “I always switch off my TV the moment I see this kind of dressing.”
NyarKoyugi Nyakwar Mbori took a more measured tone, writing:
“My dress, my choice, but a certain way of dressing speaks a lot about you.”
Not everyone, however, was quick to pile on. Nyar Ji pointed out what she saw as the hypocrisy in the backlash:
“I’m sure most people are busy condemning her in public and zooming in on the picture for a clear view.”
Philip Etale brought a professional angle to the discussion, stating:
“Journalism is like legal and teaching professions. Dress code is key.”
The reaction reflects a wider conversation about professional presentation standards in Kenyan media, where expectations around on-screen appearance remain a sensitive topic.
The debate showed no sign of settling, with opinions split between those who feel broadcasters should adhere to conservative dress codes and others who argue that personal expression should not be policed.
