The State Secretariat never received a Rolls-Royce Silver Spur
sedan from the director general of customs and excise. Based on a
letter from the Vehicle Division of the General Affairs Bureau at the
State Secretariat, dated Dec.17, 2008, on the motor vehicle from the
Finance Ministry, the Rolls-Royce sedan was intended for the chairman
of the Assets Audit Team of the ex-Indonesian Bank Restructuring Agency
at the Finance Ministry and the Asset Management Company (PPA).
The State Secretariat stated its rejection to the Rolls-Royce
offer from the director general of customs and excise, because the
sedan was in such a poor condition and would have cost a large sum of
money to repair.
A number of ambulances and electric medical beds were donated
by the government of Taiwan to the Vice President, which will be
distributed in coordination with the Health Ministry for further
delivery to relevant hospitals across Indonesia. The Supreme Audit
Agency (BPK) is authorized to audit the management and distribution of
the aid.
With regard to the more than Rp 1 trillion worth of occupancy
fees for the Senayan compound, which reportedly went missing, there has
been no mismanagement in running the complex. The State Secretariat
acknowledges, however, it has a different perception from that of
Finance Ministry concerning the target income from the state's non-tax
revenue.
The Finance Ministry maintains that the utilization of
land/assets in the entire Gelora Bung Karno stadium in Senayan should
be subject to the same rental pattern, while some government agencies
in the compound are not liable to that pattern. The State Secretariat
has reported the matter to the President, who has instructed that a
thorough investigation be carried out promptly.
