Support for SPI

From Warta Kota

I support the plan of the Indonesian Association of Attorneys
(SPI) to file a class action against the Jakarta Council. This is
a necessary step to take as it will serve as a lesson to the
Councilors for ignoring the aspirations of the people they are
supposed to represent.

Today only the press can exercise control over the performance
of the regional legislative assembly. The central governing
boards of political parties, which should exercise control over
the performance of their members in the regional legislative
assembly, have not done anything.

Political parties only collect money for the general election
and for the welfare of their own activists. They never respond to
popular aspirations of the people in the period between general
elections.

As a good citizen, I'm pleased to hear of the initiative taken
by SPI for a class action against the legislative assembly in
Jakarta. In this way they have shown a timely response to the
disappointment of the community over their "missing"
representatives.

To gain more support from the community, it is necessary for
SPI to collect the signatures of the residents. I believe many
will give their support to this idea.
