Governor accused of corruption

BANJARMASIN, South Kalimantan: A law expert called on the
South Kalimantan state prosecution office to investigate
allegations of corruption, collusion and nepotism (KKN) against
Governor Sjachriel Darham, even after the majority in the
legislative council had accepted his accountability report.

Muhammad Hadin Muhjad of the state-run University of Lambung
Mangkurat told a discussion on Thursday that prosecutors should
talk with an anti-KKN team headed by Ideham Zarkasi that had
looked into the governor's accountability report.

In particular, the prosecutors should look into irregularities
in the administration's budget, Hadin said.

The governor's report was endorsed by the council after a
vote. The United Development Party (PPP), the Indonesian
Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan) and the Indonesian
Military/National Police faction voted in favor. The National
Mandate Party (PAN) and the Golkar Party voted against. (04)
