National Police Service Commission chairman Johnston Kavuludi on Friday announced that the officers will have the money in their accounts at teh end of this month.

In the new scheme, the lowest paid constable would get a 19 per cent salary increase.

 “This interim increment takes effect in July. Detailed salary adjustments for every rank will be issued by the Inspector-General,” he said.

He added that consultations were ongoing and that the new package would be made public soon.

“This is a temporary incentive to our officers to motivate them manage the elections and provide security to Kenyans,” he said.
