The Bali state counsel has slammed Titalah Emmanuel, a former councilor of the Bali council with a fine of 200000FCFA for selling the council’s 40 feet container at Ntanfoang without due authorization from the local legislature.
During the mid-year evaluation session last Friday, councilors received with disbelief the news as the mayor recounted the well orchestrated theft. Ajong Ngoh told the councilors that legal dispositions were immediately taken as soon as he got a tip off of the mafia.
According to the mayor, the state counsel of Bali was notified after police investigations which saw the arrest of the culprit.
Quizzed on the possibility of some present council workers to have connived with the former councilor (names withheld) to sell the said council property, the mayor held that whatever the situation was, he is satisfied that the culprit has been was apprehended and fined.
As for the fate of the property concerned, the mayor urged the session to scrape the stolen property off the list of council assets. “My aim here is that we take a deliberation so that it should be taken off the list of council assets,” he intimated.
At the moment the property is in the keeping of the state counsel who is still to decide on what will be done with the recovered container.
