PPP urged to clarify on QSAR

SURABAYA, East Java: Executives of the East Java provincial chapter of the United Development Party (PPP) urged the party's central board on Monday to clarify the Rp 5 billion investment in troubled agribusiness company PT Qurnia Subur Alam Raya (QSAR).

Chairman of PPP's East Java chapter Hafidz Ma'shoem said the central board had to summon the party's deputy chairman, Tosari Wijaya, who admitted to having personally borrowed the money from the party and investing it in QSAR.

"If they do not call for the meeting, we demand the central board to hold a national meeting with all provincial chapters where we can grill Tosari about the money," he said.

The provincial chapter also demanded the central board to impose a tight mechanism for members who wish to borrow party money.-- Antara
