Kalimantan police need more cash

SAMARINDA, East Kalimantan:
The recently opened Rp 68 billion (US$7.5 million) provincial
police headquarters in East Kalimantan is only the first building
in a planned Rp 118 billion project, a police spokeswoman says.

Adj. Sr. Comr. Enny Astuti said on Friday the building was the
main office premises in the complex and did not include support
facilities.

"We have allocated total of Rp 118 billion to build the main
building and other buildings, including an arsenal storage
facility and a mosque, in the 82,000 square-meter wide provincial
police headquarters," she said.

Enny said she expected the project would be completed soon.

However, East Kalimantan provincial administration spokesman
Jauhar Effendi questioned the amount police were spending on the
project. -- JP
