Parents report principal for graft

JAKARTA: The Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) reported on Thursday the principal of a city-run elementary school in Rawamangun, East Jakarta, for corruption.

ICW executive Danang Widioko, accompanied by parents of seven students at SDN Percontohan IKIP Rawamangun, reported Sulastri to the Jakarta Prosecutor's Office.

Danang said Sulastri failed to include a Rp 55,249,300 block grant from the city administration in the school's budgets in both 2004 and 2005.

ICW also reported Sulastri for illegally collecting fees from students' parents, ranging from Rp 6 million to Rp 7 million.

The deputy head of the prosecutor's office, Darmono, who received the report, said that his office would follow up on the report.

"We need help from various parties for our investigation," Darmono said as quoted by Detikom news portal. -- JP
