Project chiefs to face carrot, stick

JAKARTA (JP): Governor Surjadi Soedirdja says managers of city
owned projects should be rewarded or, if necessary, punished,
according to the outcome of the projects for which they are
responsible.

"If they can complete the project right on time and the
quality of the work is satisfactory, the city administration
should reward them. But if they fail to finish the project as
scheduled the administration should reprimand them and then, if
necessary, punish them," Surjadi said, while formally appointing
472 project managers and 466 project treasurers.

Surjadi did not give details of the kind of punishments that
deficient managers should receive.

Ery Chajaridipura, chairman of the Jakarta Development
Management Board, concurred with the governor, adding that a
special team had already been formed to asses the work of project
managers.

He said that the city budget for 525 projects scheduled for
the 1995/1996 fiscal year was Rp 2.2 trillion.

"We expect that all the projects will get underway in June
this year," he said. (31)
