The organisation admitted financial crunch and problems in continuing the armed struggle leading to the decision to participate in contract work for the government. But the contract work affected the cadres morale, it said.

PREPAK also announced new administrative set up with new people to look after the finance of the organisation.

It said all financial transactions would be conducted with the approval of the new financial officer.
