Jakarta (Antara Bali) - House of Representatives (DPR) Speaker Marzuki Alie said he was considering having House Secretary General Nining Indra Saleh discharged from her position because  the latter had repeatedly flouted proper work procedures ultimately causing damage to the legislature's image.

"I have already consulted Cabinet Secretary Dipo Alam on the procedure to discharge the House secretary general," Marzuki said. The consultation was necessary as Nining was an echelon-I public servant.

Speaking to the press after chairing a meeting of the House's Household Affairs Board (BURT), several considerations were the  basis of his intention to get Nining replaced.

Firstly, he said, the House's Secretariat General often carried out projects without the knowledge of or consultation with  the House leadership.

The most recent example was the renovation of a meeting room of the Budget Commission at a cost of  Rp20.3 billion.

Previously, in early 2010, the secretariat general procured computers for House members without having been asked to.

"At the time, the secretariat general put a brand new computer on my desk in addition to one already there. I was surprised and asked who had asked for it. The answer was ' there is a budget for it", he said.(T007)
