Fifteen officials from the public works department in Ratanakkiri province have sent a letter to the provincial authority to find out why their stipend from October to December 2017 has not been paid.
According to the petition letter issued yesterday, the officials are unhappy their stipend has not been paid by the provincial treasury department.
Min Sodany, a representative of the officials, said the officials decided to thumbprint the letter to suggest the provincial treasury department to pay their stipend, which amounted to about $250 for each official over three months last year.
“They are late to pay by nearly three months now. They did not get paid their stipend from October to December 2017,” he said.
