Telecommunication bill of KPU unpaid

JAKARTA: The General Elections Commission (KPU) owes nearly Rp 3 billion (US$322,234) to PT Pasifik Satelit Nusantara for telecommunications equipment.

The debt was accrued from expenses in the April legislative election and the July presidential election first-round only, said PSN vice president Ryan Alisyahbana.

The KPU spent Rp 30 billion on telecommunications for the two elections. --Antara
