Insurance plan for councillors opposed<\/p>\n
TANGERANG: Tangerang regency councillors have proposed
\npersonal accident insurance for themselves in next year's regency
\nbudget, but the community has come out against the proposal.<\/p>\n
\"The councillors have no need for the insurance, and they do
\nnot have a strong argument in asking for it,\" said Mahrus,
\nchairman of the coastal community association, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\"The councillors' job is to improve the welfare of the people
\nand to create an administration that is free from collusion,
\ncorruption and nepotism. They are not supposed to squeeze money
\nout of the people,\" Mahrus said.<\/p>\n
Achmad Hidayat, chairman of the Tangerang branch of the
\nIndonesian National Youth Committee, echoed Mahrus.<\/p>\n
\"The councillors already enjoy luxury facilities from the
\nmoment they wake up in the morning to when they go to bed at
\nnight,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Hidayat said it was not known whether the councillors had
\nalready proposed to administration officials that they receive
\naccident insurance. -- JP<\/p>",
