The House of Representatives has allotted Rp 2 billion (US$219.148) to renovate toilets in the legislative compound.

“If the renovation project spent only Rp 1.5 billion for example, the remaining budget will be returned to the state treasury but if it more than that, there will be revised budget for the project,” spokesman of the House' secretariat general Jaka Winarko said Tuesday as quoted by kompas.com.

He said many toilets in the Nusantara I building that were out of order and gave off bad odor.

Separately House Speaker Marzuki Alie said he knew nothing about the renovation plan.

“It is handled by the secretariat general, nothing to do with [House] members,” he said. (iwa)
