KUTAI KARTANEGARA, East Kalimantan: Less than a week after the
campaign for the regental election started in Kutai Kartanegara
on March 15, no less than five violations have been reported, a
senior official said on Thursday.

Suroto, the chief of Kutai Kartanegara Election Supervisory
Committee (Panwaslu), said that the committee had found that
official cars and other government facilities had been used
during campaign rallies for a certain candidate. The election in
the regency will take place on June 1.

The committee also found that some civil servants had joined
the campaign team of a certain candidate, and that was a serious
violation of the election law, said Suroto.

Panwaslu will report the violations to KPU in Jakarta for
follow up, said Suroto. -- JP
