Unreturned official cars to be seized

The Jakarta Post, Tangerang

Several former officials of Tangerang regency, who left their
posts almost two years ago, have still not returned their cars.

The vehicles - eight Kijang minivans, a Landrover and a Toyota
Hardtop - were taken by the former officials when they were
transferred from their positions, according to Soma Atmaja, head
of the regency administration's equipment and assets department.

Tangerang Regent Agus Junara had just issued a letter ordering
the confiscation of the cars, Soma said, adding that he would
carry out the order immediately.

"We will ask for assistance from public order officers when
confiscating the cars," he said.

The regent had repeatedly issued warning letters to the former
officials, ordering them to return their cars, but to no avail.

Among the former officials who have not returned the cars are:
the former head of the environment agency Adil Darmawan, former
head of the social and political agency Lt. Col. Soleh, former
head of planning and development agency Muntiono and former head
of the information agency Maman Sutoyo. Two former officials at
the latter agency, Tamba and Nurhasan, have also not returned
their official cars.
