aumere: Hundreds of people, including dozens of Catholic priests in Maumere diocese, rallied in front of the Sikka Legislative Council in Maumere, Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, on Monday.
During the rally, the protesters demanded that the council act against the alleged embezzlement of Rp 20 billion in social service funds by Sikka Regent Sosismus Mitang.
“We expect the councillors to do their duty and uphold the law. We demand the council ask the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to investigate the alleged corrupt practices in Maumere,” Father Otto Gusti, the coordinator of the rally, said, adding that NTT was a poor province, but its corruption rate was the third largest in Indonesia.
