Poor condition of 'RRI'

Poor condition of 'RRI'

From Suara Karya

As a regular listener of the national radio station RRI, it is sad to see its quality deteriorate. The quality of its broadcast -- except Pro 2 FM, which is managed by a private company -- is worsening. Allegedly, irregularities are rampant in this national radio station.

Certain members of RRI's board of directors were allegedly involved in the swap of land and building of RRI Semarang, inflicting losses worth billions of rupiah on the government. Besides, they were also engaged in the fictitious rehabilitation of three SW transmitters in Cimanggis, Bogor, a project worth about Rp 25 billion.

In this respect, all ranks of RRI must make sure that the assets of this national radio station -- worth trillions of rupiah -- are properly kept.

The House of Representatives must also actively supervise the performance of RRI ranks.

All assets of RRI must be audited and firm action must be taken against those involved in irregularities.
