KPUD to recheck councillors documents

TANGERANG: Complaints were still coming in about the legality
of some of the 45 newly elected Tangerang municipal councillors,
the regional general elections commission (KPUD) said on Friday.

The complaints were mostly about the alleged use of fake
documents during the councillors' applications, KPUD official
Ibnu Jandi said.

The commission would soon begin rechecking the documents
submitted by councillors, Ibnu said.

If during the rechecking the KPUD concluded councillors were
guilty of submitting fake documents, it would replace them with
other candidates from their parties.

"Before we file a comprehensive report to the General
Elections Commission, we will hold a plenary meeting to decide
the sanctions against violators," Ibnu said. -- JP
