JAKARTA: After his election as the chairman of the Regional
Representatives faction at the People's Consultative Assembly,
Oesman Sapta departed on Monday for three towns in eastern
Indonesia to promote the reinstatement of the faction.

Flying aboard a special aircraft, Oesman and his 17-member
delegation left Halim Perdanakusuma Airport for the three-day
visit that will take them to Merauke in Papua, Kupang in East
Nusa Tenggara and Makassar in South Sulawesi.

During their trip, the delegates will hold talks with
governors and members of local legislatures.

The delegation included officials from the Ministry of
Manpower and Transmigration, the Ministry of Transportation and
state bank Mandiri. Minister of Transportation Agum Gumelar and
Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Jacob Nuwa Wea were
originally included in the team but didn't turn up at the
airport.

The faction was reinstated at the Assembly's Annual Session,
held in November last year. -- JP
