The vocal MP took to her social media platforms on Saturday, August 16, terming the act a new phenomenon of normalising child sexualisation.
"I’m not a moral cop, but where do we draw the line between advertisement/marketing and morals? When we use school uniforms on call girls to lure patrons in nightclubs and make adverts as appeals?" Wamuchomba said.

What do school uniforms symbolise?
According to Wamuchomba, school uniforms are not just garments but a symbol of naivety, innocence, learning, and dependency.
She argued that dressing waitresses as schoolgirls blurs the line between children and sex objectification.
"This is actually promoting child sex fantasies, which may lead to rapes and defilement. This is giving predators a field day to mentally socialise children to pleasure, and they may lead or generate to actual adventure," Wamuchomba argued.
"In a society already battling rising cases of incest, sexual assault and molestations, we cannot afford to play with symbols that prompt abusers to tempt our children’s naivety," she added.
She further called out the act and raised an alarm to the relevant authorities to take action and prevent such acts from occurring in future.
"This joint should be called to order ASAP," Wamuchomba said.
Video of waitresses wearing lesos goes viral
In a previous incident, a nightclub in Kitale, Trans Nzoia, went viral due to the unique dress code of waitresses.

They were holding lights in their arms while dancing to a Luhya hit song as they took drinks to patrons' tables.
The lesos caught the attention of Kenyans, with most admitting that it was a unique dress code. Many Kenyans took to their social media to inquire about the establishment's location, promising to visit the premises.
The manager further publicly admitted that the leso dress code has been good for business as sales go high on such nights.
The club, which celebrated its second anniversary in December, also uses popular celebrities to market its business to increase sales.
Some of the influential people who had a chance to grace the event include Vera Sidika, DJ Grauchi and Chief Protus of Misheveve fame.
