JAKARTA: The forestry ministry signed a memorandum of
understanding (MOU) on Wednesday with Indonesian Corruption Watch
(ICW) and Greenomics Indonesia on anticorruption cooperation in
the ministry's 22 projects.

Ministry secretary-general Wahyudi Wardoyo said the two non-
governmental organizations would be given access to the
ministry's database to enable them to monitor it and provide
input to the ministry, which is entitled to probe any violations.

According to the MOU, which lasts for three years, both NGOs
would be involved in the nationwide reforestation program,
investigation of illegal logging and other projects.

ICW coordinator Teten Masduki called on people always to
remind the ministry's officials of the need to stick to their
commitment. -- Antara
