Public officials'
\narrogance<\/p>\n
From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n
Some 88 members of the House of Representatives (DPR) and 67
\nfrom the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) are apparently in
\nbreach of Law No.28\/1999 on clean governance. They are required
\nto report and announce their wealth before and after occupying
\ntheir posts. But in reality they have failed to obey the law.<\/p>\n
The following factors may be reasons for this situation:
\n* Public officials do not understand the requirement and are
\nunable to compile reports on personal assets.
\n* DPR members, who have the authority to control the
\nimplementation of government projects, have obtained part of
\ntheir wealth by illicit means, thus making it \"difficult\" for
\nthem to make such reports.
\n* DPR and MPR members may be too arrogant to heed the three
\nwarnings already issued by the Public Servants' Wealth Audit
\nCommission (KPKPN).<\/p>\n
The three possibilities lead to suspicion and a lack of
\nconfidence in their propriety and eligibility as public
\nofficials. If they are incapable of making their own wealth
\nreports, how can they perform their duty in serving the public?<\/p>\n
