DPR online shows House progress

JAKARTA: The public will now have access to the progress of
various bills as they pass through the House of Representatives
through a parliamentary website.

The website, www.pansus-dpr-ri.or.id., was launched on
Wednesday.

Legislator Yahya Zaini of Golkar said the homepage would
provide the public with information on all the House's special
committees.

"It is hoped that after following the process of the
deliberations, members of the public can provide input to the
legislators," Yahya said.

The homepage offers information about the works of all special
committees, but so far just consists of information on the
election bill and political party bill.

The homepage was set up in cooperation with the House's
secretariat and the International Foundation for Elections
(IFES).

Apart from the newly-launched website, information about House
activities can be accessed through: www.dpr-ri.go.id. -- JP
