Jakarta. Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama plans to discharge Jakarta city officials and the city-owned enterprises agency (BUMD) directors who fail to submit an official wealth report within three months to the Corruption Eradication Commission.

“We will fire them,” Basuki told Indonesian new portal Tempo.co on Thursday.

Some 17.6% of city officials and 24% of BUMD directors have not yet submitted their wealth reports despite a 2014 regulation issued by Basuki requiring them to do so, Indonesia Corruption Watch said.

Basuki introduced the regulation in October last year in a bid to cut out graft at City Hall. The policy requires mid-level city officials as well as agency heads to report their wealth to Indonesia’s anti-graft agency.
