No, it is not like that.  There was a principle according to which the askaris would be paid a certain amount of money as an incentive, but not as a salary, not as an amount of money which would be paid if they performed an action.  If somebody had done good work, they could be remunerated or compensated for that.  In the Uniform Branch, people receive a medal of some form of bonus and in the Security Police, they were compensated from the Secret Fund.  After the Harms Commission in 1989 the situation originated where members would be compensated either from the Secret Fund.  There are people here today who drew that advantage and later used it to promote themselves, however they are not serving any prison sentence for that, while I am and that is the price that I had to pay.
