Twitter erupts over slashed police salaries

The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) made adjustments in the payroll by slashing the amount mostly affecting the recently graduated and disabled police officers. Reports by those who have already received their March salaries through Kenya Police Sacco say that most have seen a salary reduction of up to Ksh 26, 000.

NPSC CEO Joseph Onyango is said to have written to IG Joseph Boinett on March 7 proposing the stoppage of additional payments and the reversal of tax exemptions, benefits of salary adjustments and variations based on disability.
