JAKARTA: City Council's Commission A on legal and
administrative affairs is set to question the City National Unity
Agency (Kesbang) on Monday over the possible misuse of election
funds by the Jakarta Elections Supervisory Committee (Panwaslu).

"We have assigned our commission members to examine the
financial report for irregularities in preparation for the Monday
meeting with Kesbang," said commission chairman Achmad Suaidy.

Panwaslu claimed it had submitted its financial report on the
use of about Rp 20.6 billion (US$2,18 million) from the city
budget to Kesbang, the City Audit Agency and the city secretary
before its closure in November last year.

However, Kesbang head Syahrul Effendi denied earlier this week
that the report had been received. --JP.
