Bogor regent ready to resign

BOGOR (JP): Bogor regent Agus Utara Effendi said on Wednesday
that he was prepared to resign if the regency council rejected
his annual accountability report.

"As long as the council's judgment on my administration's
performance during 2000 is fair and just, I am prepared to accept
it if the report is rejected," he told journalists after
submitting his annual accountability report and financial budget
notes at the regency council building.

Agus admitted that there were still weaknesses in his
administration's performance during the year despite his best
efforts.

Meanwhile, regency council speaker Endang Kosasih said that if
the council rejected the report, this did not necessarily mean
that the regent had to resign.

"What the council wants is an improvement in the regency's
developmental and the administrative performance," he said.
