    Mr. Oule peter a primary teachers, born of 1966 who is my father, have been retired by serere district local government in 2020. In the form he signed for his retirement, there is no referwnce to the minutes for retirement before the mandated age of 60yrs, not even justification clause ax to why he retired early!
    Therefore, I request for support to understand how to help my father either be reastated into work or paid his benefits.

    Thank you

    1. Iam an Academic Registrar of Uganda College of Commerce ,Minute No.206/2020(5),U3,Shs.14,616496 p.a. My net pay has been 950,000/= p.m until May,2023. since then it’s 737,000/=p.m. This is the same thing with other Registrars of this category( of sister colleges)
    Why has our Salary been cut by 213000/= yet the appointment we accepted is clear ?
    2.Some Accounting Officers and their Bursars are telling us that Auditors told them not to Revised Rates of Duty Facilitating Allowances ( refer to CSI No. 6 of 2018) .How is this true ? What is the Night Allowance wihtin Uganda for Public officer in U3.
