Africans do things for years and years without thinking.  It's like lawyers like Kindiki still insisting on wearing that stupid wig.  Are AFricans just not rational people or what is the matter?

I guess they copy the US very much. US president portraits are everywhere in the US government/State buildings and high-level meetings. The US has been doing even more of what Kenya has been doing since 1946. As long as the west and other high-profile jurisdictions continue to do, Kenya will NOT stop it!

Within the United States Army, aides-de-camps are specifically appointed to general-grade officers (NATO Code OF-6 through OF-10), the Secretary of the Army, Secretary of Defense, Vice President, and President of the United States; rank and number determined by the grade. For those general officers with more than one aide, the senior-ranking aide is usually considered to be the senior aide and serves in the capacity of coordinating the other aides and the others of the general's personal staff such as the driver, orderlies, et al.. For the majority officers, the maximum tour of duty for aides is generally two years. The following is a listing of the accepted number of aides allotted a general officer:
Brigadier General: 1 First Lieutenant. At the Brigadier General level it is not uncommon to have a Captain as aide-de-camp.
Major General: 1 Captain; 1 Lieutenant
Lieutenant General: 1 Major; 1 Captain
General: 1 Lieutenant Colonel, 1 Major, 1 Captain
General of the Army (or Chief of Staff, USA): 1 Colonel, 1 Lieutenant Colonel, 1 Major Lieutenant
Colonels and Colonels commanding units (battalions and brigades, respectively) do not have aides, but it is generally accepted that the unit's adjutant—called the S-1—also serves the commanding officer as an aide.
In some circles of the U.S. military, an aide-de-camp is known as a dog-robber, because the aide is expected to rob anyone including the family dog, to get his general what he wants. U.S. Army aides-de-camp wear a special device in place of the branch-of-service (i.e., infantry, artillery, quartermaster, et al.) insignia they would otherwise wear on the lapels of their service uniform. The rank of the official whom the aide serves is indicated on the device. Although the Chief of Staff of the Army is a four-star general and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is a four-star general or admiral, their aides-de-camp wear devices specific to those offices, vice the normal four-star aide device. See below. An aide-de-camp wears a special aiguillette on the shoulder of his dress uniforms.

Date Approved

Prior to 1946, there was no prescribed insignia for Aides to the President of the United States. In 1946, an insignia was adopted -- 48 stars in a ring on a shield surmounted by an eagle. This design was changed in 1953 to 13 white stars on a blue shield surmounted by an eagle

Let the guy wear civilian clothes...otherwise having the guy just standing there....in full military regalia is a colonial throw-back.
Just like the presidential guards are in civilian clothes - the aide de camp - should start showing up with civilian clothes
