Temanggung case goes on

SEMARANG: Following the walk out by dozens of high-ranking
Temanggung officials in protest of their regent, Central Java
Governor Mardiyanto has sent deputy governor Ali Mufiz on
Wednesday to hold a dialog with the officials who have remained.

"Hopefully the deputy governor will also meet Temanggung
Regent Totok Ary Prabowo, who is in Jakarta. The regent did ask
my permission to go to Jakarta but at that time, I ask him to
stay in Temanggung. I didn't even know that he was going to
Jakarta for family reasons," Mardiyanto said.

On Tuesday Ali Mufiz and officials who quit had a meeting.
Temanggung Regent Totok failed to show up for the meeting.

The governor said he did not know if the regent was planning
to meet the President, but he heard that the regent's request to
meet Minister of Home Affairs was declined. -- JP
