Jakarta councillors opportunists<\/p>\n
From Republika<\/p>\n
It is really alarming to learn that honorable members of the
\nCity Council have demanded that more should be given to them,
\ndespite all the facilities that they enjoy.<\/p>\n
I felt ashamed when I read a media report on this matter. As a
\nmember of a chapter of a political party in the category of the
\nbig three after the election, I am sad to learn that these
\ncouncillors, who have fought hard to ensure that they get a place
\nin the regional council in the hope that they can fight for the
\ninterest of the people, have instead tried to rake in as much
\nmoney as they can from the people for their own benefit. It is
\nironical indeed.<\/p>\n
Although the vehicles the governor has given them for their
\nofficial use do not become the councillors' private property, the
\ngovernor -- a faint-hearted governor -- must spend billions of
\nrupiah, an amount which could actually be spent on the economic
\ndevelopment of the lower-classes. This policy must be reviewed.<\/p>\n
I demand that the people's money be returned so that it can be
\nspent on useful activities.<\/p>\n
