What happended to probation period. Why cant we give this to mboys sometime to put their how in order yawa!!! We cannot be praying for failure in very corner. Personally, I have given then 1 year.
Hapo ni sawa lakini we need to engage, umeona this made one @Bigchick to call some big wigs she knows in the military.....anyway things ain't as rosy inside the barracks as some would like us to believe. ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

Less than 2 years ago UK (as Finance Minister) took money that had been set aside to hire more teachers and used it to increase soldiers’ salaries and allowances. The allocations to cater for the enhanced payroll were increased by almost Sh. 8B. Btw it was also recommended that the military should be exempted from paying tax on almost all of their allowances which include entertainment, staff car compensation, telephone refund, gas, electricity, uniform upkeep, water and subsistence allowances among others. Their Salaries are usually reviewed after every 4 years, the next one is not that far.
Our soldiers might feel a bit discontented by the deduction but i don't think there about to make serious concerns especially if you consider the other priviledges and benefits they enjoy. Kama ni Police now thats another story......
Btw just realized that when UK was Minister of Finance he had to deal with teachers strike, Doctors strike, Lecturers strike, Cotu strike......
That paragraph is full of falsehoods. 8B and the issue of allowances don't add up, remember the Somali engagement. Again the issue of 4yrs changed.I wish I cd explain more "Peace is our profession, War is our business" ...Unknown

I thought guys were crying for real allowance!!!  10K and some of them are on 40K gross, do the math!!!! 25%...thats a huge cut.  Portfolio: Sold

There is something called Benchmarking with similar systems in other countries, how does the commonwealth treat their soldier's allowances? "Peace is our profession, War is our business" ...Unknown

There is something called Benchmarking with similar systems in other countries, how does the commonwealth treat their soldier's allowances? I agree with you that benchmarking is done. But that's my personal view based on what I know. It may not be good enough but my belief is that citizens should be taxed albeit at socially responsible levels. However for this gov't I don't think that soldier is going to listen to my ideals. My economics mind might not be the solution to this. So benchmarking will be used. So its no longer an economic problem to be dealt with by KRA but a political problem for the gov't of the day. Unfortunately for my gooogggles fellows, its njumbiree. Sometimes the cookie crumbles badly. Jose: If I make it through this thug life, I'll see you one day. The Lord is the only way to stop the hurt.

Once the allowances hit the accounts as the apologists claim they will, I'll report.....as things stand: however much somebody wanna sugarcoat it.....there is discontent in the military over the pay issue. ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".
