Sutiyoso urges probe on KPUD

JAKARTA: Governor Sutiyoso asked for an investigation into
alleged markups in the procurement of election materials by the
Jakarta General Elections Commission (KPUD) in three elections in
2004.

"The investigation must look into every possible aspect,
including the institution itself," he said on Thursday.

The KPUD has been accused of marking up the cost of renting
the houses used as its secretariat in the five municipalities and
the Pulau Seribu regency.

Sutiyoso asked the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to
quickly take over the investigation. --JP
