My first grouse - and if you look back through my file ! hink you will find that this is the first time I have ever sade Complaint of any kind is that my appointment was virtually allsed before had been given any inkling as to its nature
certainly before I had been given any indication of the allowances attached to the office
Afyou As you can imagine, I folt grieved when I discovered that the allowances were, in total
500 year less than received as Head of Chancery in Dar es
gures Ttached). was the more upset because as a Cojonial servant, I knew what to expect. Arthur Watson Boon to warn me that some of the crested crockery, was short

3. My third concerns the amount of the entertainment allow ance which, at 71,145 is 4634 less than
less than I received as Head of Chancery in Dar es Salaam The Chief Secretary is the only other senior UK official here but he has no allowance so the whole burden of entertainment falls on me. Arthur Watson warned se that tradition required me to give two major functions a year- the QBP and a Christmas Party - with a guest list on each occasion of about 500 and an attendance of about 300, and that there would be very little money left over for other forms of entertainment.
