of the Mahakam Ulu Regency in the Province of East Kalimantan, Bill on the

Chairman of Commission II of
House Agun Gunanjar Sudarsa in his report stated that of the 14 Bills on the
formation of new autonomous regions for warded by the Government, House and the
Government had agreed 7 Bills on the formation of new autonomous regions, while
the remaining 7 Bills would be reviewed in the Third Parliamentary Sessions of
2012 - 2013.
It was announced that the
Bill on the formation of New Autonomous Regions consisted of 9 Chapters and 22
Articles and in case of the formation regencies bordering on other countries
consisted of 9 Chapters and 23 Articles. With the agreed 7 Bills on third
formation of New Autonomous Regions, hopefully there would be no more regions
being economically left behind as felt in the new autonomous regions in the
border zones or remote islands marked by lack of infra-structures and poor accessibility.
Furthermore local government
of the new autonomous regions were expected to prioritize developments which
were directly related to efforts to improve people’s welfare and promotion of
public service instead of extravagance and luxury. Developments were supposedly
focused on infra-structure building and financing of activities supportive to
acceleration of people’s equal welfare distribution. (SS)
