Bogor Regency sacks staff

BOGOR, West Java (JP): Bogor Regent Eddy Gunardi announced
yesterday that he had fired five staff for serious violations of
public service and punished 121 others for mistakes.

Eddy said he had dismissed the employees for damaging the
image of civil servants. He refused to identify the five.

"One of the 121 undisciplined employees was demoted, another
employee got a promotion delay. The other 119 got strong
warnings," Eddy said in a promotion ceremony for 646 staffers.

"We cannot condone any violations of public services," he said
in a ceremony at the Bale (hall) Binarum here. But he did not say
what the five "victims" had done.

He only said the individuals had been frequently warned by
their heads of department before the final decisions were made.

He said administration employees were civil servants, who
should make service to the public their top priority. (24/sur)
