Sometimes when people have been trained to do things in a particular way, it is difficult to change them. But really, some of these superfluous utterances are totally uncalled for. If anything, I hardly see any strangers who dare walk in here wearing a hat. They are already stopped from that. So, that kind of utterance is just a throwback to the past like it happened in Malindi by-elections where the Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) were patrolling the whole place and scaring mothers and women from going to vote. That is also a relic from the past."}
