A recent government directive has formalized the inclusion of specific positions into the esteemed Central Secretariat Service. This move, announced on July 5, 2017, by the Department of Personnel and Training, streamlines and integrates key administrative roles. Notably, the decision impacts the Ministry of Defence, with one Deputy Secretary post, one Under Secretary post, and two Section Officer posts now part of the Central Secretariat Service. This adjustment brings the revised strength of these grades in the cadre unit to 47 for Deputy Secretary, 119 for Under Secretary, and 216 for Section Officer. This strategic encadrement reflects a broader effort to enhance organizational structure and administrative efficiency across government functions.
