Party clears office debt

DILI, East Timor: Yesri R. Brahmana's dedication to party politics is unquestionable. Last month, she borrowed Rp 5 million from a friend to open a branch office of the Indonesian Christian National Party here.

But the lack of money failed to dampen her enthusiasm for the party cause.

"What counts is the functionaries' working spirit, not money," said a worried looking Yesri when she opened the new office.

However, all's well that ends well, and last week Yesri, who is married to Radjakarina Brahmana, the secretary to the East Timor governor, settled her dues when the government granted the party Rp 15 million last week, Antara reported. (pan)
