Newly established administrations fail to improve the welfare of the people because their priority is not that noble objective but to recover the money they invested to get elected by milking the people.

Don’t expect too much from
the new administrations, whether they are provinces, regencies or mayoralties.

They are too busy with their own interest and parties who assign them there. Let’s pray for their conscience to establish good governance, honesty and sense of responsibility.

Djon Tidar
Pangkalpinang, Bangka Belitung


The failure comes from the central and regional governments, which can’t provide good services for the people.

It doesn’t matter whether we create a new administration or not, the government still fails to provide good services.

Masruri
Bekasi, West Java

The welfare of the people is not the chief priority of the politicians.

Instead it is a quest for power and personal wealth. Indonesia is drowning in corruption and the people’s tolerance of it.

Ibrahim

Do they have concrete figures about that or is it just an impression?

Taco D de Vries
Banda Aceh


I am with you sir because once the regional officials are busy grappling with building infrastructure they forget about the need to develop the mind and that is education and culture.
