Legislators set for African trip

JAKARTA: A number of legislators plan to travel to South
Africa to obtain first-hand information on the truth and
reconciliation commission there.

Golkar legislator Akil Mochtar confirmed on Tuesday that the
visit would allow the leaders of the House committee charged with
deliberating the truth commission bill to learn from the South
African experience.

The South Africa-bound delegation will comprise Sidharto
Danusubroto of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-
P), Sofwan Chudorie of the National Awakening Party (PKB) and
Evita Asmalda of Golkar.

Akil said the House committee expected to finish the bill's
deliberation in the current session, which ends on July 16. -- JP
