Nuriana's accountability report under fire

BANDUNG: West Java's Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle
(PDI Perjuangan) faction chairman Rudy Harsa Tanaya said that
West Java Governor Nuriana's accountability report submitted to
the Legislative Council revealed many setbacks in West Java
during 2001.

Citing an increase in unemployment and the weakening
purchasing power of the people in West Java, Rudi said that his
faction had set up a special team to study the report's contents.

"We're not going to just sit there and do nothing because
there are a lot of setbacks amid reports of insignificant
progress; The governor has launched various programs such as
alleviating poverty and assisting small and middle scale
businessmen, hasn't he?"

Rudi said the council had earlier approved additional money
for the province's development but the governor, however,
reasoned that he was not able to achieve targets due to a lack of
funds.

Yomanius Untung, the Golkar Party's spokesman in the province,
said that Nuriana, also from Golkar Party, should be objectively
judged and given another chance. --JP
