New chief for Bogor prosecutors

BOGOR (JP): Djuharia Anwar, 50, was installed yesterday as head of the Bogor Prosecutor's Office.

He replaced Umar, who has been promoted to head the legal affairs and enforcement subdirectorate of the Attorney General's Office directorate of economic crimes.

The installation ceremony held at Bogor Legislative Council was led by Abdul Rahem Akaf, head of the West Java Provincial Prosecutor's Office.

In a speech, Abdul Rahem urged prosecutors to cooperate with other related institutions to help calm growing unrest by taking action against violators ahead of next month's General Session of the People's Consultative Assembly.

He underlined the importance of law enforcement to help curb social upheaval.

"One of the methods for preventing crime here is to enforce the law in a strict and direct way without forgetting common sense," Abdul Rahem said. (24/09)
