Extension workers need motorbikes

KENDARI, S.E. Sulawesi: Agriculture extension officers in four regencies have not received an allocation of motorcycles which they need for work, Antara said.

The motorcycles had already been dispatched by the Ministry of Agriculture in Jakarta to the four regencies, chief of Southeast Sulawesi Agriculture Office, Yusuf Yakub, said.

Yusuf said his office received complaints from the extension workers that the motorcycles were being used by some regency administrators for private use.

He said he ordered officials in the regency's agriculture offices to hand over the motorcycles. (09)
