Hopefully, a decision will be taken on Nov. 23,\" he told<br>\nreporters during his visit to Tambora district administration<br>\noffice in West Jakarta.<\/p>\n<p>Sutiyoso made his promise during his accountability speech<br>\nbefore the City Council last June that the free ID card<br>\nregistration would begin on Nov. 10. The promise came after some<br>\nparty faction members pressed him to decide on the free service<br>\nfor identity card registration for the city's 11 million<br>\nresidents.<\/p>\n<p>However, the administration failed to meet the deadline as the<br>\nCity Council has yet to review the City Bylaw No. 1\/1996 on<br>\npopulation and City Bylaw No. 3\/1999 on levies. Both bylaws<br>\nregulate that the ID card registration costs Rp 1,000.<\/p>\n<p>The official fee for ID card registration is Rp 1,000 but in<br>\nreality, residents have to pay between Rp 4,000 (43 U.S. cents)<br>\nand Rp 5,000 (54 U.S. cents) per card. Meanwhile, applicants from<br>\noutside Jakarta may even have to pay between Rp 100,000 and Rp<br>\n200,000 for the service.<\/p>\n<p>The council should have revised the bylaws on Nov. 10 but it<br>\nhas yet to complete the deliberation until now. It is scheduled<br>\nto complete the deliberation on the revision of the bylaws on<br>\nNov. 23.<\/p>\n<p>Sutiyoso had earlier promised that he would guarantee that<br>\nthere would be no fees taken from the applicants once the<br>\nproposal is endorsed by the City Council.<\/p>\n<p>\"I have ordered my deputies to oversee the registration<br>\nprocess. Journalists and other people are urged to also oversee<br>\nthe process in the future,\" he said.<\/p>\n<p>The retired three-star general said he would take stern<br>\nmeasures against any administration official found demanding a<br>\nfee for ID card registration.<\/p>\n<p>\"However, we cannot supervise now since the decision has yet<br>\nto be taken.<\/p>\n<p>\"I assure you that I will 'smack' them if they take advantage<br>\nof the ID card registration once the policy comes into effect.\"<br>\nhe said.
