Special Committee on people's fate

Special Committee on people's fate

From Kompas

I consider the House of Representatives as really the people's representatives and therefore the reflection of the people's sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia.

Allow me, therefore, to appeal to the members of the House that, given the country's poor condition in economic, political and security areas and worsening national unity, they should not spend a lot of time, energy and thought for many months on matters laden with political nuances but having little bearing on the improvement of the people's welfare.

It will be quite wise of them to set up, instead, special committees to deal with the welfare of civil servants, teachers, workers and the common people in general. Also, they should set up special committees on how to overcome the aftermath of natural disasters that have occurred in some parts of the country. House members must always be concerned with the fate of the common people.
