Move the Capital City to Borneo

July 29, 2010

Jakarta, with all keruwetannya, is considered unable to carry the status as the capital of Indonesia. In the long term, the government encouraged capital to move into a new area is better.

Vice Chairman of Commission II Ganjar Pranowo said government capital should be moved to Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan, in accordance with the planned ex-President Sukarno.

"Palangkaraya good place. Good good space, the area is flat, there is no earthquake. This transfer will stimulate regional economic growth," he said when contacted Kompas.com Ganjar Wednesday (28/07/2010) yesterday.

Latest Earthquake Zoning Map of the Public Works Ministry, which was launched recently did show that Borneo is a relatively safe areas of the earthquake compared to Java and Sumatra.

Similar conveyed the young leaders of Golkar Party, Ferry Mursyidan Baldan. "It could be considered if you want to take any locations in Kalimantan. I think there is still enough land there. When prepared, this could answer a lot of (issues)," he said.

Ferry asserted, the removal of government capital must be planned carefully and is a long term program. However, Ferry asserted, the transfer of capital is not the only solution memeratakan population and development.

Proposed transfer of capital to Kalimantan also voiced Andrinof Chaniago of Team Vision Indonesia in 2033. Kalimantan, which is adjacent to a number of countries, like Malaysia, Brunei, and Singapore, is considered strategic because it is not too Andrinof to the west or east.

Meanwhile, observers of the environment, A Sonny Keraf, who is also professor at the University of Atma Jaya, Jakarta, capital city government should be located in eastern Indonesia. "Politically, capital transfer out of Java and eastern Indonesia will immediately shift the epicenter of the national development of the western part of Java and Indonesia," Sonny said in his writings "Move Capital City" in the Wednesday edition of the Kompas Daily yesterday.

Mandatory Capital Moved

July 29, 2010

Again, the discourse of transfer outside the capital to roll back the island of Java. Complexity is indeed incalculable in Jakarta as a capital city behind the emergence of this discourse.

Currently, no less 59 percent of the population in Indonesia is concentrated in Java, which covers only 6.8 percent of the total land in Indonesia. Traffic congestion has become common sight in Singapore, mainly in the morning and afternoon.

Predictably, the material loss caused by congestion in Jakarta at Rp 17.2 trillion per year, or nearly equal to expenditure and revenue budget every year of DKI Jakarta.

Data from Indonesia Vision 2033 team also mentioned, not less 80 per cent of industry is concentrated in Java. This has led to uneven development and the gap between Java and non-Java.

"In my opinion, the capital city was obliged to move," said Vice Chairman of Commission II of DPR RI Ganjar Pranowo, Wednesday (28/7/2010), to Kompas.com. "Nothing (governors) capable. Already many governors, remained the same one," added the PDI-P member of this faction.

When built by the Netherlands, continued Ganjar, Jakarta is designed to accommodate only about two to three million inhabitants. Along with the development of times, now no less 10 million people crowded the Jakarta every day. Transfer of capital to the outer island of Java, connect Ganjar, considered able to stimulate economic growth in the region.

Similar to the Partnership Director was submitted Better Governance Wicaksono Sarosa, which also issues of urban observers. "During this time, economic activity in Jakarta only promote the progress of a handful of areas, such as West Java and Banten," Wicaksono said, citing the research of Professor Budi Reksosudarmo.

Proposed removal of the capital city also delivered environmental observers, A Sonny Keraf, who is also professor at the University of Atma Jaya, Jakarta. "Many countries do that and managed to overcome the bottlenecks in the capital of his country," Sonny said in his article titled "Move the Mother City" in the Wednesday edition of the Kompas Daily (28/07/2010).

The transfer of the capital, particularly to the eastern part of Indonesia, is considered to be a step and equitable development opportunities in the region. This gives greater opportunity for development of regions outside Java.

Capital City Moving, A Solution?

July 29, 2010

Transfer of the capital city outside Java, such as that voiced by several parties, is considered not run effectively reduce the population density in Java, and urban problems in Jakarta, such as congestion.

"What should be done is to develop urban centers outside Jakarta and Java without having to move the capital city," said Director of Partnerships for Better Governance Wicaksono Sarosa, which are also observers of urban issues.

Wicaksono exemplifies China. "In the past, Beijing and Shanghai in China is too dominant, and other cities left behind. But now, cities like Shenzhen, Guangzhou could develop well," said Wicaksono.

So, connect Wicaksono, the government must be consistent and serious build big cities that have international competitiveness. Those cities, could have, such as Medan, Makassar, Manado, and Surabaya. "Infrastructure repair, airports, ports made good. The trick, the government must be consistent and serious," said Wicaksono.

This observer also said that the government is developing a five to seven major cities in Indonesia. In addition, Wicaksono also asked the government to prioritize mass transit systems and the structuring of space in accordance with the pattern of public transport. These priorities not only in Jakarta, but also in other cities in Indonesia.

Meanwhile, the young leaders of the Golkar Party Ferry Mursyidan Baldan said that the government otherwise change the format of the public service. One of the main factors of population density in Jakarta for all types of public services can only be obtained from the ministries / ministerial-level agencies.

"Places of public service should no longer stuck to the ministry offices," said Ferry, who is also a former member of the House of Representatives Commission II, 2004-2009.

Members of Parliament Wear Presence 'Finger Print

July 28, 2010

House leaders requested the Secretariat-General (Secretary General) and Domestic Affairs Agency (Burt) to prepare for the presence or the presence of the device could be "forced" to attend the Board meetings in Building Council.

Until now, members are required only to sign, which is sometimes represented by his staff. Vice Chairman of the House Priyo Budi Santoso said, in the future, members of the Board shall roll call by using the alias finger print fingerprint. "We've been ordered to prepare Kesekjenan and Burt absent finger print, fingerprint, let out a truant," said Priyo, in the Parliament Building, Jakarta, on Friday (07/23/2010).

If there was an absent member, he appealed to ask permission. "Knight just permission, if it is absent. It's very worrying and we remind all members to maintain the value and honor of the Board," he said.

Priyo worry, truant behavior of the members of the Board of the recorded media will generate public distrust towards the deputy. Not only binds with a list of fingerprints presence, he also proposed cutting the money to appreciate the honor and the presence of members of the truant.

"If the money withheld by the number of times the honor of playing truant, it's an interesting idea. Hooky what percentage then cut money for their presence. Can also like that. I'll try to be formulated," said Priyo.

Heavy Foot in Senayan

July 28, 2010

Attendance of the House of Representatives back into the spotlight. Usually the spotlight on this Council lazy behavior appears at the end of the period. This time it was really outrageous, bad behavior is actually shown at the beginning of the period.

Plenary session was postponed because of the presence of members of Parliament minimal and no decision was taken because no quorum. Not only in plenary meetings, in committee meetings was the attendance of members was minimal.

Parliament was lazy. The issue is very serious, do not be ignored, let alone considered mere administrative technical problems. Yes, the performance of the Parliament not only measured by the attendance, but attendance was the beginning of the process and a more substantial assessment.

Aspirations and interests of the community who are absorbed his representative can be formulated so the policy only if the representative is physically present and involved fighting and formulate it in various forums in the Parliament session. Attendance is also very important because the decision on a policy is determined members present, otherwise the decision can not be taken if the numbers do not meet minimal due to the presence of the quorum requirement.

That is, the effectiveness of the performance of the Parliament strongly influenced the attendance. The more lazy members of the House, certainly a bad performance and low productivity. The substance of the limelight and public criticism of the lazy behavior of members of the House precisely because of the low performance and productivity of the Parliament.

If the word in the first year the House has completed a large number of laws that have been prioritized in the year 2010, and implementation of other functions optimally, this may not questioned about the absence of seheboh now.

This happens because the public furor was disappointed, hurt, hate, and sick of seeing the behavior of members of Parliament who are lazy, while performing poorly. Supervision is not considered effective, the function of more severe legislation. For the function of the budget, the House looks keen only when fighting for the aspirations of USD 15 billion fund for their own political interests.

People still unfortunate. Some committed suicide, unable to live a Herculean, son hanged himself because he can not school. Not to mention that every day there are people dying due to explosion of gas cylinders should be immediately discontinued if the Parliament firmly against the government.

Contempt Council

Numerous factions and leaders of public criticism of the House responded by bringing up a new proposal. For example, using fingerprint attendance lists and withholding allowances if not present.

I considered that the proposal the expression of panic when public criticism came a barrage because if the proposal is listened and digested, in fact it is the abuse of institutional members of parliament.

Suggested the use of fingerprints to show how confidence in the integrity and honor of a member of the humiliated. The problem is implicitly to say that all members of Parliament are not honest or a liar because it is necessary to detect honesty through the fingerprints. The idea of withholding allowances too. Parliament lowered the degree of money: work if there is money.

In fact, the regulation that supports the enforcement of discipline and the House is sufficient enough to cause kejeraan effective when applied. Law Number 27 Year 2009 regarding the MPR, DPR, DPRD, and DPD.

(Act MD3) of Article 127 Paragraph (1) subsection (c) mandates, the National Honor (BK) did not investigate members who attended the plenary meeting, another meeting fittings over six times in a row for no apparent reason. They may be dismissed as a member of Parliament.

Construction of this article is a clear sign that there is no tolerance for members of Parliament who are lazy. DPR problem now is not the lack of regulations governing the sanctions against members of the Board of disciplinary action. However, a matter of personal commitment of each member of the weak: not able to distinguish the time for personal affairs with the affairs of the Board, the private interests with the interests of the people represented.

Unfortunately, BK should be the disciplinarian in fact busy with their own problems. A number of complaints related to disciplinary issues, allegations of corruption and other problems that allegedly violate any code of conduct has not been processed because the meeting failed to reach quorum BK. BK barren role as leader of the House let the internal conflict was protracted.

Challenge House

Bad experience in the first year this should not happen in subsequent years. House leaders to take immediate concrete steps. First, the fraction shall report the performance of its members, including the matter of discipline to the public, this is in line with the mandate of the Act MD3 (Article 80 Paragraph 2) and the Rules of Procedure (Article 18 Paragraph 6).

Second, BK internal problems to be resolved so that enforcement of internal discipline is running, give strict punishment to members of violating. Third, all agenda-related affairs of the Board members must be accessible to the public can assess the performance of its members as well as public accountability.

Build awareness and mental discipline of members of parliament also the responsibility of political parties because parties who recruit, develop, and offer kadernya to selected communities.

Parties also have an important role to control the House of Representatives member for the House of Representatives a bad mirror image of the party which is also bad, and vice versa. Parties should compete to show who has a cadre of integrity, competence, and discipline in the House of Representatives. If not, the image of the party image of the Parliament deteriorated and collapsed.

Become a member of the Board of stifling deserter

July 28, 2010

Continuously labeled truant turns out to grip the members of Parliament. As Head of the House Priyo Budi Santoso opening Plenary Meeting, several members asked the members of the interruption of data that are often absent. Data came from the Bureau of the Parliament and the trial has been published Kesekjenan media.

Members of the Golkar Party faction, wheat Pardiman, protested why only those members who published absenteeism. According to him, the House leadership bench was never filled. Included in the meeting today, Thursday (7/29/2010), which only led Priyo.

He said the data obtained from the Bureau of the media should also fair trial, by inserting the attendance of the leaders.

"Leaders are also many who played truant. The opening of this problem led, how come as a hero. If one is not present because kedewanan duties, members of the absent-absent because there was any duty of the Board," he said.

Priyo provide an explanation, at the same time, four other House leaders have another agenda. According to the shocking, the provisions of rules, the meeting was not to be led by a five-person leadership.

"But this is a good criticism. In tatib did not have all the leaders lead. Today, the Speaker of the House received the Ambassador of Algeria. Other leaders received a parliamentary delegation of South Africa. They've signed (signature) and is considered to be present," said Priyo give explanations.

"We only ask for justice alone. If members did not attend were chased like a thief," said wheat.

Several other members also filed a similar protest. They object to the data released deadly Kesekjenan because the character is considered a member of the Board. The data is assessed without going through a clarification issued against the member concerned about the reasons for absenteeism.

July 28, 2010

Parliament Assembly Kesekjenan Bureau data containing the attendance data are often absent members of Parliament, received a strong protest. Several members of Parliament questioned the data terpublikasinya without clarification of the member whose name is called.

Golkar Party faction member, Tantowi Yahya, Kesekjenan urged the House to clarify the data.

"Kesekjenan must clarify if there are members who are not present administration. Clarifications have to go to each faction. Do not be published without doing clarification," said Tantowi in interruptions in the Plenary Session on Thursday (07/29/2010), in the second Nusantara Building DPR, Jakarta.

According to him, pemublikasian list of members who are frequently absent lethal character already concerned. "Actually, they did not attend because of duties of the Board as well. Therefore, Kesekjenan must rectify the information that was given to the press," said a member of the House of Representatives Commission I on this.

Other members of the Golkar Party faction, wheat Pardiman, also questioned the same thing. She considered that Kesekjenan had no authority to announce the names of Board members not present at the Plenary.

"How far the authority Kesekjenan announce the names of which was published without clarification. If it does not present an acceptable reason, then has been announced, it's called character assassination," said wheat.

Answering members' protests, the Parliament Chairman, Priyo Budi Santoso, who led the General Assembly, explained that his side has rebuked Kesekjenan that shares the data to the media.

It is said Priyo, before publication, this data should be reported to the House of Representatives or the Board of Honorary Chairman.

"We've been reprimanded (Kesekjenan) should not be without knowledge of the leadership council and BK data that publish it. But according Kesekjenan, there is no official publication of the data," said Priyo.

Since early last week, the names of the members of the Council per faction that often do not exist without reason, has been circulating among journalists in the parliament. Data came from the Bureau of Parliament Kesekjenan trial.
