Draft on subdistrict councils submitted<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Members of the City Council team preparing for
\nthe establishment of mayoralty and subdistrict councils have
\nsubmitted a draft of city bylaws on the establishment of councils
\nin the capital's 265 subdistricts.<\/p>\n
\"The team has decided to first deliberate on the establishment
\nof councils at the subdistrict level, because the members of
\nthese councils will later have the right to determine the
\ncomposition of the mayoralty councils,\" team chairman M. Syarifin
\nMaloko said on Friday after submitting the draft to the City
\nCouncil.<\/p>\n
Jakarta is divided into five mayoralties, 43 districts and 265
\nsubdistricts. Based on a 1999 law, several districts located in
\nPulau Seribu, or the Thousand Islands, off the Jakarta Bay will
\nbe removed from the jurisdiction of the North Jakarta mayoralty
\nto form a separate regency.<\/p>\n
Syarifin said the proposed bylaws submitted on Friday
\nstipulated that members of the subdistrict councils should be
\nnonpartisan.<\/p>\n
\"Civil servants, police and military personnel are prohibited
\nfrom becoming members of the local councils,\" he said.<\/p>\n
According to the draft bylaws, members of the subdistrict
\ncouncils will have the right to ask questions of and give
\nopinions to the City Council and nominate members for the
\nmayoralty councils.<\/p>\n
The team was founded in November to deliberate the
\nestablishment of both subdistrict and mayoralty councils as
\nstipulated in Law No. 34\/1999 on the administration of Jakarta as
\nthe capital of Indonesia.<\/p>\n
\"Members of the councils will accept and channel the
\naspirations of locals, empower them, give suggestions to the
\nrespective subdistrict heads on day-to-day administrative affairs
\nand help explain their subdistricts' policies to local
\nresidents,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Syarifin said the proposed bylaws consisted of 10 chapters and
\n27 articles. (05)<\/p>",
