New Bogor regent installed

BOGOR (JP): West Java Governor R. Nuriana installed Col. Agus
Utara Effendi on Monday as the new Bogor regent for a five-year
term, replacing Eddie Yoso Martadipura who had held the position
for two consecutive terms since 1988.

Agus, who was born in Bogor on Aug. 28, 1945, graduated from
the National Military Academy in 1968. He is a former director
for general affairs of the Kartika Eka Paksi Foundation owned by
the Army.

Nuriana ordered Agus during the installation ceremony at the
Bogor Legislative Council in Cibinong to give priority to
projects badly needed by the regency.

He explained that the regency had been forced to cut the
construction of its development projects from 41 to only 30 due
to the crisis.

Agus was also asked to improve public services, especially in
issuance of permits.

"The service should be quick and cheap, but not create new
problems in the future," Nuriana added. (24/jun)
