Surabaya,  E Java, Sept 7 (Antara) -  A member of the Surabaya city legislative council  has urged the law enforcement agency to probe an allegation of  illegal levies and  fund misappropriation  at the city-owned market operator PD Pasar Surya.


The alleged corruption case involved not only low-class employees but also the management of the company, member of the councilżs commission B for economic affairs, Ahmad Zakariya said here on Wednesday.

As  the public has reported and PD Pasar Surya has followed up, the alleged corruption case also  has  involved the chief of the market. But it is impossible that they had the guts to embezzle that amount of money without support from their superior, he saids.


"Let  the law enforcement  agency follow up the report," he said.



Based on the  report from the public and internal audit of the company last week  PD Pasar Surya has dismissed a number of market chiefs   and reported the alleged corruption cases to the police. Among the market chiefs who have been dismissed are the chief of  Babaan Market,  Keputran Selatan Market,  Kupang market and  Gubeng Masjid market..


In addition, the management of the market claimed that it has conducted internal audit of four markets including  Kembang market  with a potential loss of  Rp166,982,925, Wonokromo market  Rp110,951,60078, Kupang mket with more than Rp12 million  Keputran Selatan market, with total losses of 110.836.198.0 (*)
