Kamra not paid yet

PURWOKERTO, Central Java: One hundred members of the civilian militia (Kamra) have said that apart from allowances, they have not received their wages for February.

"We're afraid to demand the wage but we need it very much," a member, requesting anonymity, said last week. The monthly wage of Rp 200,000 and an additional allowance of Rp 100,000 is supposed to be provided by the local military command.

Central Java Police Chief Maj. Gen. Nurfaizi confirmed wages were late, but said they would be paid as soon as possible. He said administrative reasons may have been the cause. (45)
