Civil servants making sure Bogor is clean

JAKARTA (JP): The Bogor city administration has deployed 1,500
personnel from various government institutions to clean the parks
around Bogor Presidential Palace and to tidy up the city's
foliage.

Bogor Mayor Eddy Gunardy said that such activities employing
members of the national civil service are expected to help
improve the city's image and give the impression that it deserves
the honor of hosting an international conference of such
magnitude.

The Antara news agency reported that the mayor expected such
activities to be carried out regularly. "I hope this can be done
regularly and not just because Bogor is hosting an international
meeting," said Eddy.

"We should intensify the activity to keep the city clean
always but first we have to work hard to make the conference
successful."

The mayoralty also conducted crackdowns on street vendors and
peddlers around the palace and in front of the railway
station.(yns)
