If the National Assembly approves DPP Noordin Haji's nomination, <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/news/local/president-william-ruto-nominates-dpp-noordin-haji-for-nis-director-general-job/ceh567d">he will return to the NIS</a> where he honed his skills as an intelligence specialist.&nbsp;

While the nature and duties of the job, and lifestyle will be a significant shift for him, his salary is likely to remain the same as what he earns home as DPP.&nbsp;

<ol><li>Basic salary - Sh459,113</li><li>House Allowance - Sh150,000</li><li>Market Adjustment - Sh156,075 </li></ol>
