KPUD vexed by false candidacy hope

KPUD vexed by false candidacy hope

Agustinus Tjiuh was very eager to serve as a legislator for
his province, East Kalimantan. He did not hesitate in spending
millions of rupiah to put promote himself in several local
newspapers, placing advertisements on his development plans for
the province.

Meanwhile, head of East Kalimantan General Elections
Commission (KPUD) Noorsyamsu Agang was confused as to how to tell
the ambitious politician to stop the ads.

Agustinus would have to be asked to stop his promotional ads,
but not because it is was a legal violation -- he has been cut
from the list of legislative candidates.

"He spent much money for the advertisements, but he is no
longer a candidate. Who should be held responsible, then?" said
Noorsyamsu on Thursday. -- JP
