Agency probes irregularities

JAKARTA: The City Audit Agency (Bawasda) said on Monday that
it would pursue alleged irregularities in the use of city budget
by city agencies as discovered by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK).

"We are following up the report. Hopefully, we will complete a
thorough inquiry by the end of this month," agency head Firman
Hutajulu said at City Hall.

Of the five agencies implicated in BPK's report, Bawasda had
examined only one -- the City Public Lighting and Road Agency.

BPK disclosed alleged irregularities at the North Jakarta
municipality (Rp 1.9 billion), City Parks Agency (Rp 368
million), City Public Lighting and Road Infrastructure Agency (Rp
357 million), City Transportation Agency (Rp 6.2 billion) and
TransJakarta busway management (Rp 801 million). --JP
