Nani Afrida, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Fri, 12/31/2010

The State-Owned Enterprises Ministry revealed Friday that up to 5 percent of the total number of officials working at state firms had yet to submit wealth reports.

 There are currently around 7,150 officers working for state firms.

“About 95 percent of officers have submitted wealth reports,” SOE Minister Mustafa Abubakar said, adding this was an improvement on the figures in June  when only 59 percent of officers had reported their wealth.

Officers who had failed to submit reports were possibly waiting for decrees for new positions or about to retire.
