akarta Deputy Governor Sandiaga Uno has denied a report saying that a number of city officials were given tickets by the Bogor police for traffic violations over the weekend.
A number of media outlets have reported that at least 12 drivers from the Jakarta City Administration entourage were ticketed by police for violating one-way traffic rules imposed by the Bogor Police along the Puncak road.
The city officials were rushing to join an outdoor tea walk on Saturday morning at the Gunung Mas tea plantation in Bogor, West Java. Newly-inaugurated Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan and Sandiaga presided over the weekend event.

"It's 100 percent not true. We have issued a clarification. We live in a post-truth, post-fact world where fake news and hoaxes dominate," he said on Sunday as quoted by tempo.co.
Sandiaga said that none of the official cars carrying Jakarta city officials were stopped by the police and that he and Governor Anies were stuck in traffic.
At least 8,000 civil servants from the city administration joined the annual tea walk event, and it was the first time in five years that an incumbent Governor had attended the event.
