Jambi KPUD returns money

JAMBI, Jambi: The provincial election body here said on Friday it
had returned Rp 300 million (US$33,333) in unused tactical funds
to the central General Elections Commission (KPU).

"The funds were handed over to us late last year, but we
returned them a week later ...," said Zulfa Achmad, a member of
the Jambi KPUD.

The Jambi KPUD was the only regional KPUD that returned the
funds, Zulfa claimed.

Tactical funds have been widely discussed after allegations
were raised concerning the embezzlement of the funds at the
central KPU. -- JP
