Better to dissolve RT\/RW<\/p>\n
From Warta Kota<\/p>\n
Referring to a recent Warta Kota report Repetition of election
\nof village council members, I am concerned with the fate and
\ndignity of neighborhood community boards (RT\/RW) which were
\nblamed by Jakarta Administration officials for mistakes they did
\nnot make.<\/p>\n
With their limited facilities, the RT\/RW have striven to carry
\nout their respective tasks as instructed by village chiefs and
\nsubdistrict heads. Unfortunately, the administration officials
\ndid not appreciate their efforts very much and blamed the RT\/RW
\nfor mistakes in organizing the election village council members.<\/p>\n
As I was directly involved in carrying out the task at the RW
\nlevel, I know the RT\/RW have done their job very well and, had
\nthere been any mistakes, they were made by higher levels of the
\ngovernment's apparatuses. Nevertheless, if the administration
\ndoes not trust its RT\/RW, who else should they trust to deal
\ndirectly with Jakarta's communities?<\/p>\n
The administration should realize that the RT\/RW are not their
\nsubordinates and, as such, they are not obliged to receive
\ninstructions as they wish. And if the administration's
\napparatuses continue to behave like this, namely having no
\nconfidence in the RT\/RW, I think it is time all RT\/RW
\norganizations across the capital be dissolved.<\/p>\n
