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.

    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)

    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.
