Sutiyoso unaware of corruption
JAKARTA: Governor Sutiyoso claimed on Wednesday he had not
received the report from the City Audit Agency about the alleged
corruption and irregularities at his office, which had inflicted
Rp 179 billion (US$17.9 million) losses to the city
administration.
But he said that he would not hesitate to take action against
anyone involved in the offense.
The irregularities, which took place in 12 institutions, were
revealed by the audit agency during a hearing with the Commission
C for budgetary affairs on Tuesday.
Most of the losses suffered by the city administration, were
caused by the city-owned property operator BPL Sunter, who had
failed to pay taxes and build public facilities.--JP
