Prosecution urged for 45 councillors

PALU, Central Sulawesi: Ten non-governmental organizations (NGOs) reported on Tuesday 45 former members of the Donggala legislative council to the Central Sulawesi Prosecutor's Office for alleged graft.

At a meeting between NGO representatives and office chief I Made Yasa, the activists accused the councillors of improperly using Rp 7.4 billion (US$787,234) from the 2003 Donggala budget.

A protester, Syamsu Agus Alam, demanded the office investigate the case immediately and bring it to court. -- JP
