Some important cases which drew public attention but have yet to
\nbe, if ever, resolved:<\/p>\n
1. The Ancolgate scandal involving some city officials and
\ncouncillors who took a foreign trip in October 2000.<\/p>\n
The participants allegedly took travel allowances from the
\ncity budget as well as the city-owned developer PT Pembangunan
\nJaya Ancol. Some canceled the trip but did not return the
\nallowance.<\/p>\n
In 2001, several low-ranking officials received administrative
\nsanctions, while their superiors remained untouched.<\/p>\n
The Jakarta Prosecutors' Office probed the case but it was
\nnever completed. It is unclear if it ever will be.<\/p>\n
2. The city chapter of the Indonesian Civil Servants Corps
\n(Korpri) was hit by the alleged theft of Rp 4.2 billion.<\/p>\n
The administration, who said millions of rupiah were
\nmisappropriated by corruption, replaced some of its low-ranking
\nofficials.<\/p>\n
3. The Kramat Tunggak land scam involved the alleged graft of
\nchunks of money used in the Rp 84 billion acquisition of 11
\nhectares of land housing the former Kramat Tunggak brothel
\ncomplex in North Jakarta. The administration denied any
\nwrongdoing in the acquisition, which was conducted last year and
\nthis year.<\/p>\n
4. The city-owned Ragunan Zoo is clouded with controversy
\ninvolving the management of its budget, including billions of
\nrupiah that were 'spent' renovating several toilets.<\/p>\n
A councillor investigating the claims said a senior zoo
\nofficial offered him a bribe during an inspection of the zoo.<\/p>\n
The administration planned to allocate Rp 3.2 billion a year
\nto feed four gorillas which would be imported from the U.K., even
\nthough there is an organization that will provide the meals for
\nfree.<\/p>\n
The city inspectorate has questioned some zoo officials but
\nthe results are not known, while the fate of the four gorillas,
\nwhich were scheduled to arrive here in October, is also unclear.<\/p>\n
5. The City Sanitation Agency is facing corruption allegations
\nover its garbage mismanagement. In 2001, the agency received Rp
\n90 billion to handle the garbage, but there is no transparency in
\nthe use of the funds. Jakarta Governor Sutiyoso denied the
\naccusations but did not oppose a plan for the city council to
\nform a special team to investigate the case. The team was never
\nestablished.<\/p>",
