Lazy legislators ticked off

BOJONEGORO, East Java: Local legislators ticked off four leaders of the Bojonegoro regency assembly in East Java on Tuesday for frequently being absent from the assembly chamber and skipping crucial meetings.

The reprimanded leaders were assembly speaker Anwar Sholeh and his deputies Maksum Amin, Thalhah and Iksan Tamim.

The critics, grouped in the Islamic Plus faction (FIP), submitted a written protest during a plenary session of the assembly.

They accused the assembly leaders of lacking discipline in carrying out their official duties, and urged them to pull up their socks.

"They should be setting a good example for their subordinates, not the reverse," said Sudarto, a legislator from the FIP. --Antara
