The Defence Headquarters has clarified that the delay in the payment of Ration Cash Allowance to soldiers deployed in various operations across the country is not the fault of field commanders or the military high command.
The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Magnus Kangye made the clarification today, explaining that any delay in allowances could only have occurred within the financial system, stressing that commanders were not withholding funds meant for personnel under their supervision.
He noted that the payment process could sometimes experience delays due to transaction or system issues, but assured that the allowances would eventually be paid.
Kangye maintained that such issues should not be misconstrued as deliberate attempts to deny troops their entitlements or undermine their welfare.
The clarification by the DHQ follows complaints from soldiers deployed under DHQ-led operations, particularly Operation Fasan Yamma in the North-West and Operation Whirl Stroke in the North-Central, who alleged that they had not received their Ration Cash Allowance since August 2025.
