Demand for promise fulfillment

JAKARTA: A group of activists, calling themselves Indonesian People, have established a new front in charge of the fulfillment of promise known as "Barisan Penagih Janji".

Gandhi Sukardi, the initiator of the front's formation, said Tuesday that it was intended mainly to remind people -- along with community leaders, organizations, political parties and central and regional governments -- to fulfill promises to improve overall social conditions.

The group will periodically give people chances to present their fulfillment of their promises in a forum to be held in cities throughout the country, he sad.

"The main task of the front will be to distribute social control for those having no opportunities for it," Gandhi said.

The first forum on demand for the fulfillment of promises will be held soon at Jakarta Media Center on Jl. Kebun Sirih No.34, Central Jakarta, he said. -- JP
