It is very unfair if National Police Service officers are putting their lives on the line defending Kenya against terrorists only to be denied their hardship allowances.
It is astonishing that the multi-agency police officers of the Boni Forest security operation – The Boni Enclave Campaign – have not been paid their allowances. They now speak of “untold suffering” as their bosses have pocketed their allowances.
It is a terrible thing for your country to cheat on you in this manner. Riot police are paid their allowances the same evening they disperse, beat and shoot demonstrators.
It is a pity that thieves should be at the centre of the national security establishment and steal the hardship allowances of the General Service Unit, the Recce Squad, the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit, the Rapid Response Unit and the Administration Police, among other agencies.
These thieves are sabotaging Kenya’s contribution to the war on terror by demoralising the best-trained and dedicated officers outside the KDF. This is a grave crime and the perpetrators should be dealt with immediately.
