The announcement, made on Tuesday in a statement by Acting Director, Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, confirmed that preparations for the allowance increment have been finalised.
Ahmed assured corps members that the rollout of the improved package is imminent, demonstrating his administration’s commitment to their welfare.
