Some 200 residents of Porong district, East Java would return home Thursday evening after 12-day protest in the capital to demand 100 percent payments for their assets inundated by mud flowing from PT Lapindo Brantas' gas field.
MetroTV television reported that 10 negotiators of the mudflow victims would remain in Jakarta to follow up the agreement that Lapindo had to pay 20 percent of the value of their total asset and would pay another 80 percent the year after.<>
"We demand that the agreement is put on a legal documents to ensure that we will receive fair compensation in the future," Agus Haryanto, one of the mudflow victims, told the television station.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono Tuesday received representatives of the residents after the government announced that all victims would fully receive 20 percent of their respected assets without any reduction.
As quoted by The Jakarta Post, the mud which is flowing from the gas field since May last year, had inundated more than 12,000 houses, dozens of factories, and hectares of rice fields. (dar)
