State cars kept by councilors

BENGKULU, Bengkulu: Councillors at the Bengkulu City Council
apparently don't know the meaning of state owned property. At
least that's the impression many get when they "refuse" to return
official automobiles despite the end of the their term in office.

Local Council speaker Djali Affandi lamented on Saturday that
many former councillors had neglected to return their official
automobiles despite previous notification.

He said of the eight official cars, only four had been
returned.

Those who have returned their automobiles are the previous
council speaker, two deputy speakers and one of the faction
chiefs.

Djali said the cars should be returned as they were to be
allotted to the new members of the council.

"We will file a written request to the former members to
return the cars immediately", he added. (02)
