A vital administrative exercise is currently underway to refine the structure and staffing of the Central Secretariat Stenographers’ Service (CSSS). This marks the third comprehensive review of the cadre, designed to align existing entitlements with contemporary requirements. Departments across the government were previously instructed to submit detailed proposals outlining their specific needs for stenographer posts across different grades. These submissions were to be meticulously justified with facts and figures, adhering to the updated personal staff entitlements recommended by a specialized Cadre Restructuring Committee. Despite an initial deadline, many units have yet to provide this critical information. An urgent final call has been issued, urging all relevant departments to submit their comprehensive staffing proposals by October 31, 2017. Departments failing to meet this revised deadline risk having their requirements presumed as non-existent, leading to unilateral decisions by the Department of Personnel and Training regarding their cadre structure. This review is pivotal in ensuring that ministries and departments are adequately supported with essential personal staff, from Principal Staff Officers to Stenographer Grade D, thereby enhancing overall governmental efficiency.
