MKGR offers legal aids

MEDAN, North Sumatra: MKGR Party, one of several parties which was formerly affiliated with the ruling Golkar, has sought every legitimate avenue to lure voters, including offering legal aids.

A party executive, D.I. Silalahi, said Wednesday the chapter had established a legal aid and consultation board in each provincial capital across the country.

Silalahi said the party would exempt people who sought help from the legal aid boards from any expenses.

A party chapter official here, Lukman Damanik, said hundreds of people had enjoyed the free-of-charge services so far. But many of them also asked MKGR for essentials, according to Lukman. (39)
