Official to release names

BOGOR (JP): Bogor secretary Itoc Tochija promised on Thursday
to disclose names of officials who backed gambling activities in
a den on Jl. Siliwangi 23D which was raided by a group of angry
students earlier this month.

"If the names have been released by Monday, I'll resign," Itoc
said after meeting a group of students.

Some 50 students staged a protest at City Hall, demanding the
city administration to take firm action against mushrooming
gambling in the city. They were from Bogor Agricultural Institute
(IPB), Ibnu Chaldun University, Djuanda University and Bogor
Pharmaceutical School.

Itoc, however, rejected the group's demand to dismiss the
officials involved in the gambling den activities.

"They have wives and children to feed. If they lose their
jobs, their families will suffer," he said. (24/edt)
