Four ex-councilors keep official cars

TANGERANG: As of Saturday, four former members of Tangerang municipal council were still in possession of their official cars, although their tenures finished last month.

E. Kusnadi, an official of the council secretariat, named former speaker Gian Sugiharsono and councillors Awing Suhanda, Mohamad Nur and M. Fauzie as those who had not returned the cars.

He said he personally would approach the three councillors to ask for the cars. As for Gian, Kusnadi said he would wait for Mayor Wahidin Halim's decision as to whether the speaker could keep the car, as he had requested in his letter.

NGO activists plan to file complaints with the Tangerang Police should the former councilors refuse to return the official cars. -- JP
