DPR, govt to evaluate autonomy

JAKARTA: House Commission II and Home Minister Hari Sabarno
agreed on Tuesday to hold soon a meeting specifically to evaluate
the implementation since last year of regional autonomy.

Chairman of the commission for home and legal affairs Agustin
Teras Narang said the commission would soon arrange time for the
evaluation.

The minister hailed the plan, saying that a special meeting
was needed to evaluate the autonomy.

According to the minister, there were 68 regional regulations
considered to be in contradiction with existing rules. "Fifty-two
of these regulations have been revised," Hari said.

He added that the basic problem in regional autonomy was how
to specify the authority of administrations at both central and
regional levels to avoid disputes. - JP
