REMUNERATION FOR PROCUREMENT SPECIALIST

Your reply is so nice.

As profession procurement is still in its infancy stage all over the world. It is only recently the field has gained recognition in developing countries. Heads of procurement departments are now sitting in board meetings which imply better remuneration probably equivalent to other managers. I have no doubt with large organization both in public and private sector. My concern is with Government institutions with low volume of procurement. Through sharing experience with other professions I have discovered that majority of institutions have established and appointed heads of PMU in accordance with governing Law of public procurement but, incumbents not treated like other head of departments in terms of remuneration. What is your view and solution to this problem?
