Who do House members represent?

MATARAM, West Nusa Tenggara: Who do the members of the House
of Representatives and the People's Consultative Assembly
represent?

According to government critic Arbi Sanit, they represent
themselves and their political parties. So what they do is serve
their own interests.

"Don't believe their claims that they represent the people.
They mostly represent their political interest groups," he said
at a seminar here on Saturday.

Arbi, a political science lecturer at the University of
Indonesia, said that although the House and Assembly members were
highly paid, they rarely fought for the people. -- Antara
