With politics filling all spaces around us to near suffocation, it is possible we don’t notice the important things happening in our midst. Among them is the commencement of new scheme of service for the public administrators we call chiefs and their assistants.

Whereas the highest position in their ranks was the senior chief and which only came in the event of death or retirement of the incumbent, chiefs will now be promoted on merit all the way to the highest rank in that line which is the regional coordinator formerly known as Provincial Commissioner (PC).
