Yesterday, the Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet confirmed that rogue officers made irregular claims and pocketed millions of shillings in transfer allowances. Officers transferred to new workstations normally pocket allowances to enable them to settle down. “We found out the anomaly months ago,” Boinnet told the Star during a phone interviewThe anomaly is contained in a report prepared after internal investigations. “The officers involved will be severely punished and made to pay back the money they received,” Boinnet said. “This headquarter has been carrying out investigations into fraudulent claims of transfer allowances to several officers under your command,” the letter reads.
