Stalled project irks councillors

TANGERANG: The Tangerang municipal council will ask an
independent team to audit a stalled building project.

"We suspect irregularities in the project ... that could
derail the administration's current 'year of quality' program,"
the council's deputy speaker, Arif Wahyudi, said on Thursday.

The project to construct a two-story council building has been
stalled for two years. It was originally scheduled for completion
by 2004.

The councillors announced earlier the building project had
cost the administration Rp 3 billion, although only Rp 2 billion
had been allocated for the project from the city budget. -- JP
