Agency denies firing employee arbitrarily<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The chairman of the Pluit Coordinating Agency
\nhas denied accusations he transferred an employee for reporting
\nirregularities in land reclamation projects.<\/p>\n
\"That is not true. He was transferred because he failed to do
\nhis job. I gave him repeated verbal warnings, but he did not
\nchange his attitude,\" Darrundono, chairman of the Pluit
\nCoordinating Agency, told reporters at a press conference here
\nyesterday.<\/p>\n
He explained that Misyafril Wahab was relieved of his position
\nas the head of the technical maintenance sub-department of the
\nagency. Wahab is now a sub-department staffer posted with the
\nWaste Management Team.<\/p>\n
Recently, Wahab filed a complaint with the City Council saying
\nhe was fired because he reported deviations in land reclamation
\nprojects in Kapuk Muara and Muara Baru in North Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Wahab had reported that the height of the land in the
\nreclamation area was only 2.7 meters, while the plan stated that
\nit should be 3 meters high. He told the City Council that the
\nreport caused him to be demoted to a lower rank.<\/p>\n
Wahab also filed his complaint with the Civil Service
\nAdministration Agency and the Secretary of the Management of
\nOperational Development who said that he should have been
\nrewarded for reporting the deviations.<\/p>\n
Darrundono denied that there were any deviations in the
\nprojects, saying that when Wahab filed the report, the land
\nreclamation was still underway.<\/p>\n
He said that the only thing that hampered the projects was the
\nfact that land appropriation was being done by a private company.<\/p>\n
\"The contract stated the contractors should finish work in 18
\nmonths, but they could not do so because a private company
\nclaimed some of the land,\" he explained.<\/p>\n
PT Hustani Cipta Jaya worked at Kapuk Muara and finished its
\nproject on Nov. 22 last year, while PT Pluit Sakti Kharisma,
\nwhich worked at Muara Baru, finished its project on July 26.<\/p>\n
\"We have already checked the finished projects and the height
\nof the land is three meters, well in line with the plan,\"
\nDarrundono said.<\/p>\n
He said that the main reason why Wahab made that accusation is
\nbecause he could not face the fact that he was removed from his
\nposition. (yns)<\/p>",
