'RRI' staff demonstrate

PURWOKERTO, Central Java: Hundreds of employees of the local state-owned RRI radio station yesterday held a rally in front of their office to demand the resignation of local station chief Yon Maryono.

They claimed the uncompromising station chief was authoritarian in managing the station and was also heavily involved in collusion and corruption.

Yon refused to hold a dialog with his employees yesterday. After arriving at the station he immediately rushed into his office and would not come out. (45)
