Alleged Rp 1.9b graft investigated

TANGERANG: The Tangerang Prosecutor's Office is investigating
irregularities in a Rp 1.9 billion tap water project that
allegedly involved top officials from the Tangerang office of the
state-run tap water company (PDAM).

The Chief of the office, Purwosudiro, told The Jakarta Post on
Thursday that his office would summon PDAM president director
Rochyat DS, PDAM technical director Erwin Mustika and the former
project official Rozhadi Ismaoen for questioning.

He said that in July 1999 PT Christa Amendo won the tender to
handle a project involving 45,000 meter water-long pipes and
other related equipment worth Rp 1.964 billion. The company had
received a letter instructing it to work on the project, but it
allegedly commissioned PT Aek Bolon, which lost the tender, to
carry out the work.

Separately, Erwin Mustika and Rozhadi Ismaoen denied the
allegation. --JP
