Meant for their subordinates. I believe there was a similar problem with the recce unit sent into Garissa University. The Negro is trying and it is what it is.
Police officers who were who were early this year sent to restore order in Baringo are accusing their seniors of pocketing more than Sh5.8 million meant for their allowances.
The 145 police officers drawn from the General Service Unit, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, the Rapid Deployment Unit, the Rural Border Patrol Unit and the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit, said that each of them was entitled to Sh30,000 in allowances for the operation.
Contacted for comment, the Rift Valley Regional Police Coordinator, Mr Gideon Amala, acknowledged that some officers were yet to be paid their allowances but added that the issue was being addressed.
“We are aware that some officers were not paid last time and we’ve already forwarded the list to police headquarters and they will be paid in due course. There are procedures for doing this and I urge the officers to be calm,” he said in a telephone interview. He dismissed claims that the money had been pocketed by senior officers.
“Why should they panic and they have not been sacked? Let’s not value money at the expense of service to our country,” he said.
Rift Valley Regional Coordinator Osman Warfa said that his office was yet to be notified about the officers’ complaints but also promised to follow up the matter.
“Just give me the areas where the officers are stationed without even mentioning the names of the officers and we will raise the issue on their behalf with Nairobi,” he said.
