It’s now the turn of police officers to have a significant pay rise

By Hassan Omar Hassan

No police officer should earn less than fifty thousand shillings. Their terms of service should include housing, medical cover and life insurance. Unlike the teachers and doctors, they can’t go on strike. Some of their fundamental rights are limited by the Constitution including Article 41 on labour relations. But that is not to mean officers have no right to fair remunerations and reasonable working conditions. Therefore someone must speak and someone else must listen.
