DPD office building inaugurated

JAKARTA: People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) speaker Amien
Rais inaugurated on Thursday the office building of the Regional
Representatives Council (DPD) members.

The four-story building is located next to the House of
Representatives building, with a corridor connecting them.

Some spaces of the new building have also be allocated for the
offices of the Assembly's staff members, who have to move as
their rooms will be occupied by new House members.

All 128 DPD members and 550 House legislators, who were
elected in the April 5 polls, will take office on Oct. 1. The two
bodies will form the MPR. -- JP
