Presidential advisory bill to be passed soon

JAKARTA: Lawmakers continued deliberating the bill setting up
the presidential advisory council on Tuesday, vowing to finish
the debate before the House rested on July 16.

However, only 10 of the 50 House committee members turned up
to attend the debate.

During Tuesday's session, legislators agreed the presidential
advisors must be professionals who were experts in their fields.

They also pledged to finish debating the bill on the formation
of government ministries before July 16. -- JP
