Dear Editor,
It is very heartrending for us, the members of the Special Constabulary, not to get what we have worked for and is due to us. All we are getting is promises from 2006 on. We worked some vicious overtime and it took one year for us to get our money and still there is one month – October – to be paid from that year.
They say we are not police but an auxiliary to the force, yet still we have to go through all the suffering with the police. When it is time to work we are police, but when it is time to be paid we are not police.
In December 2007 the President offered three per cent added to six per cent to make nine per cent. He also offered a Christmas package for all, but we did not get any. In January 2008 again the President offered five per cent but we still did not benefit and were told it will all be paid later.
Later is still to come. Now the time has come for the leave passage to be paid. Everyone else has received theirs except the Special Constabulary.
