NGO against free rice distribution<\/p>\n
PALU, Central Sulawesi: A non-governmental organization is
\nrefusing to disburse 600 tons of rice aid from the Italian
\ngovernment because it says doing so will make the recipients
\nlazy.<\/p>\n
Sehati Foundation chairman Iskandar Lamuka rejected the plan
\nfrom the Central Sulawesi Social Affairs Office to distribute the
\naid, earmarked for people in the conflict-ravaged province.<\/p>\n
He said doing so would make the people lazy and reliant on
\naid.<\/p>\n
\"We have accomplished half of the recovery program so the
\nsituation is improving. Therefore the government should stop
\ngiving free handouts because it will not discipline the people,\"
\nhe said.<\/p>\n
Iskandar said the rice should instead be distributed to
\ngovernment workers involved in the development programs.<\/p>\n
\"The people should be motivated to take the initiative to
\nrevive their economic potential so that they empower themselves,\"
\nhe said.<\/p>\n
The rice has been stored in the provincial warehouse. --Antara<\/p>\n
