ADB provides buses, collector

AMBON, Maluku: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has presented
the Ambon municipal administration with nine buses and 10 garbage
trucks for its cleanliness campaign.

Mayor Yohanes Sudiyono said here on Monday, however, that his
office had yet to receive all the necessary documents from the
bank for it to start using the vehicles.

"The aid is timely because we urgently need the vehicles to
cope with the public sanitation problems in the city," he told
Antara. "We wish to win again the Adipura award that we received
last year."

The award is given annually to clean, healthy and
environmentally-friendly cities. Ambon currently operates 14
garbage trucks, some of which are already in poor condition.
