I request from early records conditions attached to civil servants at the lower rates of pay received 4% increase in salary while those in the upper scales received 9% increase. These increases were brought in as a result of benchmarking. At the time every civil servant in junior ranks were obliged to attend meetings in Hotels hosted by Carr associates and explain how they could increase output. This was 2002.
