ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE/ESTABLISHMENT
REGISTER
• We concede that there are structural gaps in our institutions
especially Brigades.
• The Brigades do not have Senior Lecturer I positions graded at
D4 salary scale which creates a gap between C1 level and D3
scale.
• Despite this, no officer has been made to work extra duties. All
institutions (Brigades) have head of Department graded at D3
level.
• The Department is however, looking into ways of closing the
structural gaps
