City Council has new member

JAKARTA (JP): The Speaker of the City Council, M.H. Ritonga, inducted Zulkarnaen Ginting as the new councilor of the city council in a plenary session on Thursday.

Zulkarnaen is replacing councilor Siregar Prahu of United Development Party who died on May 2 last year.

In his speech, Speaker Ritonga urged other councilors to remember the content of the oath since the councilors are expected to be responsible not only to other people but also to God.

He said that with the inauguration of Zulkarnaen, the City Council now has 75 members.

The plenary session was attended by a number of members of the House of Representatives, chairpersons of political organizations and many city dignitaries. (mas)
