Locals demand indigenous officials

GORONTALO, Gorontalo: A leading figure in Boalemo has called on the regental government to prioritize locals in the recruitment of civil servants in the regency. Rahman Ismail said that so far, the Boalemo bureaucracy had been dominated by people from outside the regency and this was considered unfair.

Responding to the demand, secretary of Boalemo regency Nico Ahbi said that whether the locals were given priority in the bureaucracy recruitment, it was up to the central government. "We can't do anything. All we can do is make sure there is no discrimination in the process of recruiting local bureaucrats," said Ahbi. -- Antara
