West Java Police demand more money

BANDUNG: West Java Police will propose an Rp 8 billion budget
to West Java provincial administration in order to help the
police provide security in the upcoming elections.

"The proposal by West Java Provincial Police has been approved
by the West Java Provincial Council and the government. The
provision of funds is important, because potential conflict is
imminent in the upcoming elections," he said.

The Rp 8 billion would be used to finance logistics for 15,200
police personnel safeguarding the elections.

The provincial and municipal police have actually been
allocated a portion of the operation money by the National Police
headquarters, but apparently the money is not adequate as they
also need it for contingency funds during the elections, he said.
