Become a member of the House of Representatives was exciting. At least, partially funded with state money to live. Not only council member who received a blessing, family and children can also be sprayed. Because there are also some allowances allocated to children and a wife / husband. Morally, other family-out wife / husband and children, social status come up as well. Thus, the domino effect of a successful council seats, are quite large.
Besides given the relatively large salaries, each council member was also given a facility such as cars, houses, and others as. Everything is still to use money from the revenue budget coffers shopping area / country. If they carry out their duties, for example, discuss the budget, or bill, Ranperda, and other types of meetings, or make special committee, kunker, comparative studies, they also are tired of money / pocket from there, although they had paid millions of dollars.
For issues related to the amount of allowances and facilities received by board members in central and local government, the recent protests is the rent amounting to Rp13 million per month for members of Parliament. And that was also enough to make people furious Bangka Belitung is a discussion of the 2008 budget plan in a hotel in the City Pangkalpinang. Harsh criticism of society discourage this plan.
Being a member of the board and sat on the loveseat with her room-ac with fragrant fragrant flowers, and all needs are provided by the state, it becomes the ideal many people. This means that there is life there is quite promising.
At least, after sitting there, the social status would be lifted, the degree will go up. In the midst of the family, the board considered a prestigious position. Authoritative. And is considered to know all the problems that occur in society. Anyway, a member of the board, things like the rose.
To go there, there are many hurdles as well, although many also came to chair the board was so easy. Smooth-smooth course. Because the process of selecting board members is now different from the previously-although different but the substance has not changed, according to a directly elected to be nominated, of course, "sell" programs to the community became a major.
Formerly, when the legislative elections, candidates for council member is trying to bring himself into masyakakat, giving promise to solve the problems of society, and sometimes want to ensure menggratiskan school fees. Similarly about how they take people's hearts. They seduce and sedate the public with promises. But the goal is to select me.
To make the approach and gentle persuasion was, of course, require substantial funding. Because every gathering with the community, at least rice wrap sweater and candidates concerned must be provided. The amount of funds spent, depending on which candidates for the board: if the candidate for the province, of the cost will be different from the candidates for city / counties. But clearly, all candidates determined to reach into his pocket for this and that expense
Now, those who have sat as a board member for the not-lucky, just fight on the upcoming elections, now are enjoying delicious on the board.
For people who have chosen a candidate in the election last time, and chance "successful", while now living witnessed how the "deception" and "gentle persuasion" was proved only sweetener used alone. Just bullshit. Just crap. Master voice the people's voice (not God), to find justification. Gentlemen residing in that stately building's status as people's representatives confirmed that he was there because the people's voice, but now prefers her voice, her own.
From it all, the election twice after the reform, namely 1999 and 2004, is impressive not give anything for the people. In fact, an impressive community sucks. Since the alleged corruption of the congregation who do nearly all the board members in Indonesia up efforts to increase their allowances and salaries, all the time so the public spotlight, and in fact some say board members do not have feelings and attitudes menzalimi public trust.
Some political observers assess the social, especially in the performance of the board at the local level are concerned. Issues of experience, educational background, and the weak ability to argue (this is also related to the low level of experience of the organization), unresponsive, often too late to act, making them as is with the executive. Government looks far ahead. Thus the difference is very evident when discussing the budget and also the recipient of government accountability reports. Legislative like "dikadalin" executive.
Some time ago, and Surrounding Pambangunan Market Traders (P4S) to communicate their aspirations Pangkalpinang City DPRD. These complaints related to the elimination of legislative committee recommended asset Pangkalpinang. But what can I say, in the office of representative of the people that none of the existing board members. All council members went to Jakarta with a variety of reasons. Finally, traders joined in P4S disappointed.
It has become a phenomenon in which new areas are divided or developed, including of course, Bangka Belitung Islands Province. Long experience in the executive bureaucracy and their mastery of data is also the technical problem, "forcing" the legislature accepted the executive report. Legislative oversight of executive function during this limited time receive reports held meetings, hearings, and formal hearings. And rarely legislative initiative to the field to check the truth of an agency report.
Case of the motor and car rental agencies to Parliament by the Government of Bangka Regency Bangka, for example, is a case which is quite unique and odd numbered. Where unique and strange? The first question which the institution's first initiative was proposed vehicle purchase. Second, the type of motor vehicle loaned executive to the legislature did not consider the operational utility and effectiveness.
Party legislature (DPRD Bangka), said the purchase of motorcycles for the initiative came from local government councils of Bangka. Parliament was never submitted a budget for such things. In fact, party secretary of the board acknowledged was never invited and involved in the buying process sema once the bike. Meanwhile, the executive (Bangka regency) argued, all the existing budget in the budget proposal comes from the respective agencies, including the Parliament of Bangka. However, there are also among the board members are admitted in Bangka, Bangka cheated and that Parliament was impressed "duped" the executive.
So this land shall be managed and regulated by each other "to eat". Consuming legislative executive, and vice versa. While the people victims of "cannibalism" is. *
