        "content": "<p>Regional autonomy laws to be revised<\/p>\n<p>SURABAYA (JP): Minister of Home Affairs Hari Sabarno affirmed<br>\nhere on Tuesday that the regional autonomy laws put into effect<br>\nearly this year would soon be revised to resolve ongoing disputes<br>\namong the provinces, as well as between provinces and the central<br>\ngovernment.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking before East Java's regents, mayors, police and<br>\nmilitary leaders in the provincial capital, Hari said that the<br>\nsections to be evaluated and revised would relate to the articles<br>\non regional administration law and the financial distribution<br>\nbetween central and regional administrations, both created in<br>\n1999.<\/p>\n<p>While he could not specify the provisions giving rise to<br>\ncontroversy, the minister referred to various interpretations and<br>\nsystems of implementation of the laws within regions.<\/p>\n<p>\"Many regency administrations consider their areas as<br>\nsovereign territories, so that even territorial waters are to be<br>\napportioned as exclusive zones,\" he cited as an example.<\/p>\n<p>He told media that on Aug. 30 his ministry and relevant<br>\ninstitutions would meet in a session with the Regional Autonomy<br>\nConsultative Board (DPOD) to have a detailed discussion regarding<br>\nan evaluation and revision of the laws.<\/p>\n<p>The other institutions to be involved in the discussion<br>\ninclude the House of Representatives (DPR), associations of<br>\nregency, municipal and provincial administrations, and regional<br>\nlegislative councils (DPRD).<\/p>\n<p>Hari Sabarno said that the function of governors as<br>\nrepresentatives of the central government in regions and their<br>\nrole as coordinators and supervisors of regional autonomy would<br>\nbe redefined.<\/p>\n<p>\"Our records show that around 3,000 regional regulations are<br>\nnot mutually supportive. If over 300 regencies and municipalities<br>\nhave different policies, the problem will be even more<br>\ncomplicated, which makes the role of provincial administrations<br>\nvery important,\" he pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>The minister added that various sectors had not yet been<br>\nregulated in regions, including communications, marine resources,<br>\nforestry and airport\/seaport affairs, constituting a major issue<br>\nfor the future.
