Mass corruption revealed<\/p>\n
From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n
The prosecutor's office in West Sumatra has finally responded
\nto public complaints, which in this case were lodged by Forum
\nPeduli (public concern forum), a provincial non-governmental
\norganization. Based on the report, the speakers, vice speakers
\nand members of the provincial legislature and the Padang city
\ncouncil were alleged to have been involved in corruption.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the West Sumatra governor and Padang mayor, who
\nparticipated in deliberations on the regional budgets for 2001
\nand 2002, should also be examined because those executives also
\nhad a part in budget drafting.<\/p>\n
There is public fear that the financial plans already passed
\nby the regional councils were in fact so designed to guarantee
\nthe \"welfare\" of councillors for having elected and appointed key
\nexecutives. Only time will tell whether such investigation will
\nbe carried out or another scenario introduced.<\/p>\n
The forum is thus expected to support the provincial
\nprosecution in handling the case thoroughly to assuage public
\nanxiety.<\/p>\n
