MATARAM, West Nusa Tenggara: Most ex-servicemen in the
province have yet to obtain housing facilities from the
government, according to an official.

"Up to now only 27 percent of almost 1,600 ex-servicemen have
got housing from the Ministry of Defense and Security," Oemar
Haroen, chairman of the local chapter of the Association of
Indonesian Veterans (Pepabri) said here yesterday.

For the 1994/95 fiscal year, the ministry is to provide only
80 houses for ex-servicemen in this province, he was quoted by
Antara as saying.

The local chapter of Pepabri called on the government to
increase the budget for veteran housing. (rms)
