Recently, the security guards of the quarantine centre located at Thet Kay Pyin village, Sittwe, are extorting money from Rohingya drivers. The guards demand a sum of 1000 kyat and say they are collecting tax for the government.
“There are many police checkpoints in the town where we are already paying taxes to the police officers of those checkpoints and now why quarantine centre’s security guards are demanding money?” expressed a driver.
As a cumulative effect of multiple tax and extortion of money from drivers, the cost of daily necessary goods sky rises for the Rohingya people.
