Senator enraged over NGOs' poor work

AMBON, Maluku: A Dutch senator expressed concern on Thursday that the work of international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operating in Ambon was below standard, despite the millions of Euro being poured in by the Dutch government.

A case in point was the construction of bathrooms and toilets in a refugee camp in the compound of Waiahong People's Amusement Park, said Sam R. Pormes, a senator of the Dutch parliament.

Pormes said the sanitation facility was poorly built, so that it was badly damaged although it had been built only a year ago. -- JP
