Amien to bar ministers from going abroad

CIREBON, West Java: Presidential candidate Amien Rais promised
his constituents in Cirebon on Thursday that if he were elected
president, his first priority would be to temporarily prohibit
his ministers from going abroad.

The ministers would be ordered to prioritize all domestic
affairs that needed to be addressed immediately, including
poverty eradication and the creation of new jobs, he said while
campaigning in Gerbang Mekar subdistrict here.

"I myself will set an example for them," said Amien, the
presidential candidate of the National Mandate Party (PAN). -- JP
