Why Police, Prison salaries may not be increased this fiscal yearFriday, May 17th, 2024 05:01 | By Mercy MwaiPresident William Ruto with the Chairman of the National Taskforce on Police Reforms David Maraga during the presentation of the Taskforce report at State House, Nairobi in November 2023. PHOTO/PrintThe government’s promise to increase salaries of police and prisons officers’s salaries by at least 40 percent this financial year may come a cropper after the National Treasury failed to include the Sh15 billion required to implement the Justice (Rtd) David Maraga Task Force report. Koome appearing before the MPs called for the reinstatement of the amount of money which is part of the Sh60.61 billion shortfall for NPS optimally. And apart from the Maraga report, Koome said that NPS requires Sh48 million to facilitate investigations into the Shakahola massacre. He explained that recruiting 10000 officers is a huge task and could be challenging due to the training done on them.
