Megawati reminded of her promise

JAKARTA: President Megawati Soekarnoputri has been reminded to
fulfill very soon her promise to provide the people of West Nusa
Tenggara a power generator, a report said.

"The people here appreciate President Megawati's promise to
provide the power generator in view of the poor capacity to
supply electricity in this province," Governor Harun Al-Rasyid
was quoted by Antara as saying in Mataram, capital of West Nusa
Tenggara.

He said Megawati made the promise when he met with the
President in Jakarta last week to report on the poor power supply
in his province, which has forced nightly blackouts by rotation.

"Let alone the people's dwellings, even the gubernatorial
office and mansion have been subject to rotational power
blackouts," Harun told the president then.

Harun said that upon receiving the report, President Megawati
gave her promise to provide a high-capacity power generator.

"But I do not know when the President is going to fulfill her
promise," the governor said. -- JP
