Agency punishes two officers

JAKARTA: The City Transportation Agency punished on Thursday
two officials who were allegedly demanding illegal levies from
Kopaja bus drivers, in an apparent effort to discourage other
employees from extorting drivers.

The two officers, identified as Bambang S. and Fathurrohman,
were moved to the agency's office and put on administrative duty.

Bambang was the head of a supervisory team monitoring bus
routes, and Faturrohman was his assistant.

The two men were reportedly demanding illegal levies from
Kopaja bus drivers on the Lebak Bulus-Kota route.

But Fathurrohman claimed he was innocent, saying, "I did not
ask for money. They (the drivers) bribed us." --JP
