JAKARTA - City Governor Sutiyoso probably feels a bit reluctant to deplore any further the development of villas in mountainous Puncak resort, Bogor, which were believed to have contributed to the recent floods in the city, after he was"caught red handed" owning a villa himself.
As his face turned a shade of red, Sutiyoso admitted on Tuesday that he bought the villa cheaply when he was the Bogor Military Resort Commander in 1994.Without mentioning the price of the villa or its land, he said that it was located on state land. Red-faced Sutiyoso admits to owning villa in forbidden area
"I can't stand cold weather. It's okay if they (Bogor regency) want to demolish the villa, but other villas should also be demolished," the governor told reporters at City Hall. Tugu village chief Jajat Sudrajat announced on Monday that Sutiyoso was one of several former top military officials who owned villas in the area.
Jajat revealed that the villa and 11 others which belonged to former military officials, stood on state land and had no building permits. Sutiyoso's villa, measuring 200 square meters, stands on aone-hectare plot of land in Tugu village, Cisarua district.
A reliable source said that former Indonesian Military (TNI) Chief Gen. (ret) Wiranto owned a villa next to the Governor's. Asked whether Wiranto's villa was next to his, Sutiyoso replied, "I don't know."
Several high-ranking city officials, including West Jakarta Mayor Sarimun Hadisaputra, reportedly own villas in Puncak but use the names of relatives as the owners."It's slander. I don't have property there," Sarimun once said.
