Soldiers Receive No Salary in 6 Months
[Tolo News] Tens of Public Protection Forces (PPF) soldiers of eastern zone gathered in front of the national assembly on Saturday to raise concerns over not receiving their salaries in the past six months.The soldiers say that they have filed several complaints with the Ministry of Interior (MoI) over the past two months, but received no responses. "We do our duty with honesty; we lose our soldiers every day," one of the soldiers said. "But no one addresses our complaints. Our children are hungry." In response to the statements, MoI stated that the salaries will be paid soon. "We have good improvements regarding the issue," MoI front man Sediq Sediqqi said. "We will pay the salaries and solve the issue shortly." Many other government employees also fear salary shortages, as the government faces major economic problems as a result of the prolonged presidential election process and electoral tensions.
