Recruits for specialist cadets, who are degree holders, diploma holders and A-Levels go to the scale of inspectors directly. There is another recruitment of constables whereby degree holders, diploma holders and A-Level holders are not given the job scale of inspectors. That means that if you are recruited as a constable and you are a degree holder you will still earn a salary of Kshs9,600 per month. If you are recruited as a specialist cadet and you are a degree holder, you will earn Kshs28,000 per month. Why should we have this anomaly? Could the Assistant Minister explain the disparity?"}
