Council wants BP Parkir head fired

JAKARTA: The City Council has recommended that the city
administration dismiss Yani Mulyadi, the head of the city's
parking management agency (BP Parkir), for his failure to punish
Secure Parking, the city's biggest private parking operator.

Posman Siahaan, a member of the council's Commission A for
legal affairs, told detik.com on Wednesday that the agency should
discipline the private operator immediately for unlawfully
raising its rates in June.

The public will naturally suspect a secret agreement has been
made between the agency and the operator, he said.

"We are recommending that the governor dismiss the head of the
agency if he cannot settle the matter as soon as possible," he
said, adding that the agency had lost money under Yani's
management.

Last year, instead of contributing income to the city budget,
the agency booked a deficit of Rp 800 million (approximately
US$97,200).--JP
