Former governor's cars protested

JAMBI, Jambi: Dozens of students claiming to be from the United Regional Students Movement have urged the Jambi administration to investigate the ownership of two luxury cars still being used by former Jambi governor Zulkifli Nurdin.

"It's not proper for a former governor to still be using a state-owned vehicle," the students spokesman, Muklis, said on Friday.

He said that the two cars, a Jaguar and a Land Rover, should be returned to Jambi provincial administration.

"The two cars are being used for personal reasons because he's no longer serving as governor," said Muklis, claiming that he saw the cars parked at a Jambi province lodge in Jakarta.

Meanwhile, acting Jambi governor, Sudarsono, said the car's ownership had been approved by the Jambi provincial administration. -- JP
