MPR/DPR chairman

MPR/DPR chairman

From Merdeka

Hectic discussions on the future chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly/House of Representatives (MPR/DPR) make people feel dissatisfied, because contrary to past elections, candidates for the seat have been earmarked this year.

The names most quoted are Harmoko, Syarwan Hamid, etc. There is the possibility a hitherto unknown person will be chosen, but it is likely that the institutions will be chaired by a person from the victorious sociopolitical organization.

As a layman, I can only hope that whoever becomes chairman, will listen to the people's heartfelt aspirations. They should have an open attitude and respond to the people's voice. It is also important they do not overlook the quality of the house members.
