ICW to report education agency, high schools to police

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Fri, 01/21/2011 3:43 PM | Jakarta

Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) says it will report Jakarta Education Agency chief Taufik Yudi Mulyanto, and principals of five state junior high schools to the police on Monday for their reluctance to reveal information regarding education funds.

ICW senior researcher Febri Hendri on Friday said the agency and schools had refused to show receipts for the funds they received from the central government under the School Operations Aid (BOS) and Education Operational Aid (BOP) programs, tempointeraktif.com reported.

Febri said that on Nov.15, 2010, the Central Information Commission had issued a ruling ordering the parties to provide copies of the receipts to ICW.

The agency and the schools, SMPN 190, SMPN 95, SMPN 84, SMPN 67 and SMPN 28, had not appealed the decision, he said.

Earlier on Friday, Febri visited the agency to ask for the documents, classified as public documents, but his efforts were in vain.

Febri said the agency and five schools had violated 2008 Law on Public Information.
