Employees of State corporations will not be automatically promoted after advancing their studies. According to the State Corporations Advisory Committee (SCAC) Secretary, Simon Indimuli, such employees will be required to apply for vacant positions should they arise.

Indimuli said that upgrading a staff member who was hired without a degree to a position requiring a degree, solely on the basis of having obtained one, is tantamount to mischievously filling a vacant post without opening it up to a competitive and transparent process.
