More than 500 police officers deployed in parts of Samburu, Laikipia and Baringo Counties have accused the Government of failing to pay them hardship allowance.

The officers were deployed to the counties in April this year. Since then, there is no clear communication from relevant authorities on when they should expect their pay.
