JAKARTA: The Association of Indonesian Municipal Legislatures
(Asdeki) urged on Friday the government and the House of
Representatives to maintain the genuine spirit of regional
autonomy when amending Law No. 22/1999 on regional
administration.

"We do not oppose the review but urge the government and the
House to keep regional autonomy intact," Asdeki's deputy chairman
Rudi Mastura told a press conference.

Rudi, who is also the speaker of Palu Legislative Council in
Central Sulawesi, said the association also demanded that the
government and the House allow the association to participate in
the review of the law. --JP
