From Jayakarta The statement by Jakarta Governor Sutiyoso that he did not object to his subordinates receiving money as a token of gratitude for the services they offer has invited reaction. It is no secret that the acceptance of illegal levies, bribes, grease money, etc. have been common practice among bureaucrats and their superiors overlook this culture.

In fact, the<br>\ncentral government is making a serious effort to eradicate<br>\ncorruption and collusion, but Sutiyoso has created a situation in<br>\nwhich employees may accept money from the public. This practice<br>\nwould not stop in Jakarta as other provinces would inevitably<br>\nfollow suit. What a messy administration!<\/p>\n<p>MULYANA<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
