Cooperative faces law suit

Cooperative faces law suit

SEMARANG, Central Java: Sixty four families are threatening to
sue the management of the provincial branch of the Workers
Cooperative for building shoddy houses.

"We have formally reported the poor condition of the houses to
the cooperative management but there has been no reply," a
spokesman for the families, Sambodo, said yesterday.

The families are occupants of the Pundak Payung low-cost
housing complex in the city's southern outskirts.

Reportedly, the condition of the houses was so deplorable that
three cabinet ministers and the governor who visited the complex
recently refused to dedicate them.

"The project will not be inaugurated until the cooperative
renovates it," Governor Soewardi said. (har)
