APPs place demand
Assistant Public Prosecutors (APP) at the judge and magistrate courts here on Saturday demanded increased honorarium for moving cases on behalf of the state. At a press conference held at Rajshahi Metropolitan Press Club at noon, around 10 APPs urged the prime minister and law minister to increase their daily honorarium to Tk 1000 from Tk 200. The honorariums were not increased for the last two decades after the increase in 1991, they said. At the present rate of Tk 200 daily honorarium, we hardly get over Tk 3600 a month after payment of taxes, said an APP adding that the officials are facing hardship and difficulties in pleading the cases sincerely.
