Implement new pay package for police

Once again, there are murmurs of discontent within the police force over pay. Despite the recommendations of a taskforce and a promise by Internal Security Minister Prof George Saitoti that salaries in the force would be improved, nothing has happened.

In light of matters elsewhere, this oversight assumes negative proportions. The fact that taxpayers would have to fork out Sh3 billion in salaries to various commissioners each year, if the wage demands of the Constitution for Implementation of the Constitution are the trend, is indeed worrying.
