RI administration the worst in the world

DENPASAR: The country's public administrative system is the
most extravagant in the world because it spends taxpayers' money
on extravagant things that in no way benefit the poor, a noted
politician said on Sunday.

The chairman of the newly-established Democratic Nationhood
Unity Party, Ryass Rasyid, said that state administrators spent
hundreds of trillions of rupiah in funding senior officials'
housing allowances, travel expenses, ceremonial events, and
political events that had nothing to do with the needs of the
public.

"Some Rp 700 trillion has been paid out through the Bank
Indonesia Liquidity Support (BLBI) scheme, something that has
nothing to do with the poor people, who are the majority in this
country," he said.

Ryaas vowed that his party would not tolerate such
extravagances and, instead, would make changes to the political,
social, economic and legal systems to allow the poor to benefit
from public spending. --Antara
