Rajek district wants high school

Rajek district wants high school

TANGERANG: Hundreds of residents from Rajek district,
Tangerang, threatened on Monday to stage a rally at the regency
administration office in Tigaraksa because the administration had
failed to build a senior high school in the district.

"Early this year, several district representatives met with
regent Agus Djunara, who promised to build the school soon, but
as of today, we are still waiting," one resident, Zaenal, who is
also chairman of Tangerang Community Alliance, told The Jakarta
Post on Monday.

He said that every time the district representatives asked the
regency officials when the school would be built, officials said
that the administration had not yet acquired the necessary land.

"I suspect such reasoning as we know the administration has
300 hectares of land in Sukatani village," he said.

He added the administration could easily use the land as most
of it, now managed by the regency agricultural agency,
remained idle despite its strategic location.

He said the regency councillors had earlier confirmed their
approval for the land to be used for the school building. --JP
