Three terms are enough

JAKARTA (JP): Golkar cadres cannot serve on the City Council for more than three consecutive terms, chairman of the Jakarta chapter of the ruling political organization Tadjus Sobirin said.

"Jakarta Golkar will no longer name cadres who have served as councilors for three successive terms as candidates for another term," Sobirin said during an informal year-end meeting with journalists.

According to him the policy is primarily aimed at speeding up development in Golkar.

"We want to give younger Golkar members a chance to serve on the City Council," Sobirin said. (bas)
