According to NPSC chairperson Eliud Kinuthia, police officers should be given an allowance boost to cushion them during the coronavirus pandemic.

Allowance increase
Kinuthia asked for uniform allowance for all ranks and additional responsibility allowance for commanders beginning March 2020.
This he noted should only be considered up to the relevant time when the Country returns to normal enforcement of law and order.
He further asked for sufficient budgetary allocation for officers to be supplied with adequate sanitizers and Personal Protective Equipment in all the work stations.
