A planned go-slow by a section of the police force to press for the full implementation of a 42 percent pay hike approved in the year 2010 appears to have fizzled out.

Deputy police spokesman Charles Owino said it was unconstitutional for anyone in the disciplined forces to picket or engage in strikes.
