Logistics agency sued for bad report<\/p>\n
TANGERANG: Some 26 district chiefs in Tangerang regency will
\nfile a lawsuit against Banten provincial logistics agency for its
\nalleged inaccurate report on the distribution of rice for the
\npoor that had been submitted to the Tangerang Regency Council.<\/p>\n
\"The inaccurate report prompted the 26 district chiefs to
\nsubmit an official letter to Regent Ismet Iskandar, explaining
\nthe real problem. We also have to fulfill the summons from the
\ncouncil's commission B to clarify the issue,\" said Kresek
\ndistrict chief, Antawirya, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The agency reported that Kresek district still had Rp 112.5
\nmillion (US$13,235) of the fund that had not been distributed.
\nAntawirya denied the report, saying that his district only had Rp
\n14.5 million remaining of the fund.<\/p>\n
Commission B chairman Suryadi said that the councillors
\nsummoned the 26 district chiefs on Dec. 9 to clarify the agency's
\nreports.<\/p>\n
\"We fully support the district chiefs if they will file a
\nlawsuit against the agency. Such inaccurate reports have also
\ntainted the Tangerang regency's image,\" he said. -- JP<\/p>\n
