The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) has warned the public against fake online application links related to its recruitment of 10,000 police constables. Separately, the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) issued a stern warning to retirement scheme providers, urging them to pay the retirement benefits levy by the October 31 deadline to avoid substantial fines. The RBA stated that non-compliance could lead to a five per cent monthly penalty on outstanding amounts. In the agricultural sector, authorities in Busia County have warned farmers to be vigilant after seizing 160 bags of fake bean seeds and unmarked bags of fake cotton seeds in a raid. This bust followed a tip-off regarding the distribution of counterfeit seeds in the region.
