New land agency chief named

BEKASI(JP): Sumaryanto has been installed as the new head of the Bekasi office of the National Land Agency, replacing Masri Asik.

Sumaryanto's previous position was as chief of West Java's Land Rights Office.

After the inauguration ceremony yesterday Masri told Suara Pembaruan daily that during his term he had uncovered 571 false land certificate cases.

He said the scams surfaced when the land owners checked their land status with the National Land Agency.

He said the cases had been reported to police. (25)
