Officials sign antigraft pact

JAKARTA: Following the example of Cabinet ministers, senior
officials at the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration signed
an anticorruption pact on Monday.

The signing was witnessed by manpower minister Fahmi Idris
during a meeting over which he presided.

The pact requires the officials to avoid becoming involved in
corruption, collusion and nepotism, and to accept any punishment
should they violate the pact.

Ministry spokesman Hotma Panjaitan said several officials did
not sign the pact on Monday because they were out of Jakarta on
official business. -- Antara
