Where does the money go?

Where does the money go?

Applicants for the Indonesian citizenship taking their oath of
loyalty at the West Jakarta court of justice have been sent
letters telling them to come to the Bakom PKB (Agency for the
Communication of National Unity) on Jl. Mangga Besar, Jakarta.
There they will have to pay fees for the oath-taking procedure of
between Rp 125,000 and Rp 250,000 per person. Payment is
witnessed by not only officials of Bakom PKB, but also by
officials from the West Jakarta court of justice. No receipts are
issued, but the folders of the applicants are marked to show that
the fees have been paid and the applicants' oaths can be taken.

There is not much applicants can do, although many of them
have their objections since, before the naturalization process
begun, applicants were required to pay Rp 650,000 per person
through a BCA Bank transfer to Bakom PKB, Jl. Mangga Besar Raya,
Jakarta.

My question is: Who are the beneficiaries of this oath-taking
fee -- the Central Jakarta court or Bakom PKB? Would those in
charge please explain so that this confusion may be clarified?
