DPA ready to dissolve: Chairman

JAKARTA: The Supreme Advisory Council (DPA) is ready to dissolve itself as soon as the law on its dissolution is enacted, DPA chairman Achmad Titosudiro said on Wednesday.

"We understand that perhaps the House and the government are still pre-occupied with the newly endorsed bills, therefore we are willing to wait," Achmad was quoted by Antara as saying on Wednesday.

Members of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR), the country's highest legislative body, agreed in their annual meeting last year to dissolve DPA and replace it with an advisory institution to be established by the president.

Achmad said that he had met with several ministers to discuss the future of current DPA employees. He did not elaborate. --Antara
