Council differs on report

Council differs on report

BOGOR: The Justice Party faction of Bogor City Council has
rejected the accountability report of Mayor HR Iswara Natanegara,
saying that the administration had failed to deal with chronic
traffic congestion and to curb rampant corruption.

The faction is the only one of 12 on the Council to have
rejected the report. Faction speaker Ahmad Ru'yat said that
although many of the administration's projects had been
completed, many more were merely disappointing.

"Corruption is still rampant which has had an adverse impact
on the development of the municipality, where many of the
projects are not in line with regulations on environmental and
city planning," he said.

Separately in the day, Bogor administration secretary Dewi
Kurnia told the City Council that the Mayor would not run for the
next mayoral election. -- JP
