(a) I am aware that 21 police officers of Bangale Police Station have not been paid their October salaries. However, all police officers at Madogo Police Station have been paid their salaries. This was occasioned by the payroll cleansing which was being undertaken by the Human Resource Section of the police department. The officers affected were initially under Garissa Police Division in North Eastern Province, but the two stations; Madogo and Bangale were reverted to Bura Police Division under Coast Province occasioning the need for the cleansing. Every officer was required to present himself or herself at the station where they work and physically collect his or her salary or payslip for accountability purposes. Those police officers who were affected never collected their October payslips. The same were returned to the Police Headquarters to ascertain the ownership and hence the salary delay. So far, they have been identified and the matter has been resolved. (b) The 21 officers will be paid their October salary this month, November 2011."},{"id":5564,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/5564/?format=json","text_counter":77,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Dr. Nuh","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":114,"legal_name":"Nuh Nassir Abdi","slug":"nuh-abdi"},"content":"Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the officers we are talking about are the same officers we were complaining about yesterday that they are still my constituents and deserve to be treated very well by this same Government.
