It’s very unfare in pay ranges between C5&D1..a marked disparity of 20000kes. Public, study the disparity between each cohort and compare the C5&D1’s . Review should be regarded. Renumeration disparity is playing a big role in job dissatisfaction. Stakeholders, it’s your turn to open your mouth and rectify the disparity between the two job groups.
