BPK told to audit ink procurement

JAKARTA: The Indonesian Forum for Budget Transparency (Fitra)
called on the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) to audit the procurement
of indelible ink used in the recent legislative election amid
allegations of overpricing.

Fitra advocacy coordinator Uchok Sky Khadafi said on Wednesday
the price of imported and local indelible ink used in the
elections was Rp 28,500 per 30 cc bottle, while the price of
local indelible ink being used in the July 5 presidential
election is Rp 19,975 per 40 cc bottle.

He urged the Corruption Eradication Commission also to
investigate the matter. -- JP
