MEMBERS of the House of Representatives (DPR) have uncanny ways of improving their welfare. The latest one is their proposal for aspiration funds. They say they need the extra funds to ensure maximum service to their constituents.
The amount they proposed is by no means a small amount: each legislator is recommended to get Rp20 billion. If the recommendation goes through, the state must allocate an additional Rp12 trillion for them. In the midst of a sobering economic slow-down, and judging by the poor performance of the legislators, this outrageous request should be rejected.
