Drug Test Necessitated for Newly-Inaugurated Jakarta Statesmen

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or colloquially known as Ahok has just inaugurated as many as 649 newly selected statesmen, that will be given a number of position in the central government department. 

The inauguration was followed by a urine test of each and every one of the newly elected candidates.

The Head of Jakarta National Narcotics Prevention (BNNP), Sapari informed how the urine test was necessitated as to find out whether or not these newly selected candidates use drugs.

The decision for physical raid test became solidified shortly after the government's shocking discovery of many of its staff who use and captured using drugs.

"We should not let and prevent having statesmen who are also drugs users," Sapari informed at the City Hall, Jakarta, Monday (18/5/2015).

This is not the first urine test placed on newly elected candidates. 

On January 2 2015, there was a large-scale structural reorganization where as many as 4.676 Jakarta government staffs were obliged to perform urine test. 

From that particular urine test, one staff reportedly has morphine in his body.

"We do not tolerate anybody who uses drugs, especially those who come and work for the government and any department alike," The Head of Jakarta Regional Staff Department, Agus Suradika explained. (Akp/Tnt)
