The government has appointed Indonesia Transportation Club (ITC)
\nas an independent auditor to audit the operation and safety
\nstandard applied by the state-owned train company PT Kereta Api
\nIndonesia (KAI), ITC director Dadan Irawan Sarpingi said on
\nTuesday.<\/p>\n
\"Based on Ministerial Decree issued by the Office of the State
\nMinistry of State Enterprises on Feb. 6, ITC is appointed as an
\nindependent auditor for KAI's operational and safety matters,\"
\nDadan was quoted by Antara as saying.<\/p>\n
The move followed a deadly train collision in December last
\nyear, killing around 50 people. The accident has prompted KAI
\ntop officials to resign.<\/p>\n
Dadan said that the audit process would involve a team of
\ntransportation experts and academicians from Jakarta and Bandung,
\nWest Java.<\/p>\n
He added that data gathering was expected to be completed
\nwithin two months.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Antara said that the government was expected to
\nappoint KAI's new board of directors Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The government had completed a \"fit-and-proper test\" on 24
\ncandidates last month.<\/p>\n
There has been speculation that former KAI business
\ndevelopment director would be appointed as the new president of
\nthe company.<\/p>",
