Residents want clean Council

TANGERANG: Hundreds of students, workers, non-governmental
organization (NGO) activists and members of the arts community
staged a rally outside the Tangerang City Council on Tuesday,
enlivening the swearing-in ceremony of 45 new councillors.

They demanded that the new councillors work against corruption
in the council.

However, only Krisna Gunata of the Golkar Party and Moh.
Bonnie Mufidjar of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) went out to
meet the protesters and signed the "political contract".

The written statement made by the protesters required the new
councillors not to be involved in money politics and not to
deceive the public.

Acting chairman Krisna Gunata said he would soon hold the
first meeting for the councillors to discuss their internal
regulations. -- JP
