JAKARTA (JP): City Governor Sutiyoso claimed on Wednesday that
\nhe had disclosed all of his wealth which reached Rp 12 billion
\n(US$1.3 million) to the Public Servants' Wealth Audit Commission
\n(KPKPN).<\/p>\n
\"I have revealed all honestly,\" Sutiyoso told reporters at
\nCity Hall.<\/p>\n
Asked about his Cherokee jeep which was excluded from the
\nKPKPN report, he said the jeep belonged to his daughter. \"My
\ndaughter needs the car to attend her lectures at a university
\nwhich is located far from home.\"<\/p>\n
He also denied that he had land in Cengkareng area, West
\nJakarta and planned to build a mall on it.<\/p>\n
\"That's not my land, if you want you can take it,\" he said
\njokingly.<\/p>\n
He noted that it was the city administration which planned to
\nbuild a mall on the site to cater to foreign tourists arriving at
\nnearby Soekarno-Hatta International airport.<\/p>\n
KPKPN reported on Tuesday that Sutiyoso's total wealth
\namounted to Rp 11.931 billion -- Rp 10.09 billion in property and
\nRp 1.84 billion in currency, -- making the former Jakarta
\nMilitary commander the richest governor in the country.<\/p>\n

\ngovernor was East Java Governor Imam Utomo with a wealth of Rp 7
\nbillion followed by West Java Governor R. Nuriana with Rp 4

\nthree sedans, a Mercedes Benz, a Volvo, and a Mazda, as well as a
\nWillys jeep and two Harley Davidson motorcycles.<\/p>\n
Without mentioning the location of his farm, Sutiyoso claimed
\nto have earned Rp 750 million from his 15-hectare farm in 1994,
\nthe audit commission reported.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile chairman of the Jakarta Government Watch Amir Hamzah
\nquestioned the audit commission's report on Sutiyoso since it did
\nnot explain how the governor had acquired his wealth.<\/p>\n
\"Much of his wealth, such as cars and land, was stated as
\nhaving been procured with his own earnings. But it did not
\nprovide further details,\" Amir said on Wednesday. (jun)<\/p>",
