In May the government granted over 10 million kyat , about USD$10,000, to Kamarmat village-tract in Rangoon as part of a nationwide poverty alleviation scheme.
Impoverished households were due to get 30,000 kyat, or 30 dollars, each in micro-finance loans.
The programme's aim was to prioritise the poorer residents, but so far no villagers in South Kamarmat village have received the loans.
