A salary increment for officers in the National Police Service (NPS), Kenya Prisons Service (KPS) and the National Youth Service (NYS) will take effect from July 2026, marking the final phase of pay reforms recommended by the Maraga Taskforce.

Speaking on Wednesday, March 25, Principal Secretary for Interior and National Administration Dr Raymond Omollo said the increment will be implemented at the start of the new financial year, completing a three-phase plan aimed at improving the welfare and morale of officers across the three services.
