Four legislators lose jobs

NABIRE, Irian Jaya: Governor Jacob Pattipi has approved the
withdrawal of four legislators of the Paniai regency
legislative council because they have been disloyal to the ruling
Golkar party they represent.

The legislators that will soon be jobless are Hardi Fabanyo,
Yan Bonay, Simon K. Douw and council spokesperson Jance Kayame.

Their dismissals were decided in a plenary session of the
Golkar faction on Monday in which 18 out of 24 legislators voted
for the dismissals, Antara reported.

The meeting also proposed that Elco Youw, S.P. Hanibora,
Alfred Matini and Hubertus Adii replace them.

Paniai regent Yoesoef Adipatah, who is also head of the
Golkar's local board of patrons, said the firing of the four
council members had been done in line with prevailing
regulations.(imn)
