The House of Representatives named nine new commissioners of the Indonesian Ombudsman in a plenary meeting at the House in Senayan, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday.
In the meeting led by House Deputy Speaker Fadli Zon, the House agreed to accept the results of a selection process to select new Ombudsman commissioners held by the House's Commission II overseeing home affairs.
" Commission II has chosen and determined the chairman, deputy chairman and seven members of the Indonesian Ombudsman through a discussion," Commission II chairman Rambe Kamaruzzaman said during the meeting on Tuesday.
Amzulian Rifai will head the Ombudsman for the next five years, with Lely Pelitasari Soebekty as the deputy chairman. The seven remaining members are Adrianus Eliasta Meliala, Ahmad Alamsyah Saragih, Ahmad Su'adi, Alvin Lie Ling Pao, Dadang Suparjo Suharmawijaya, Laode Ida and Ninik Rahayu.
Speaking separately, Amzulian said he aimed to grow Indonesia's reporting culture and hoped the public would become more aware of what was happening in public life.
"For those who are disappointed [over public service delivery], please don't keep your dissatisfaction to yourselves," Amzulian said after the inauguration ceremony of the new Ombudsman commissioners on Tuesday.
He said the Ombudsman also aimed to collaborate more closely with the Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Ministry given the latter's strategic position in managing governance-related matters.
Of 557 House members , 352 attended the plenary meeting. (ebf)(+)
