Police officers in Nairobi, Mombasa, Eldoret, Nakuru and some other parts of the country had staged a go-slow (file photo).

The last tranche of a police salary hike will be effected in July next year. Internal security PS Mutea Iringo says investigations into the media-created go-slow shows that an AP constable based in Kimilili was behind an SMS calling on police to down their tools.

The said police officer also used a fake account to incite police to go on strike.
