Jakarta (B2B) - Lima Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat (LSM) di Jakarta mengajak masyarakat untuk bersikap selektif dalam memberikan suaranya di Pemilu Legislatif 2014, dengan memilih calon legislatif yang berkualitas dan memiliki integritas untuk bekerja demi kepentingan rakyat.
"Kita ingin anggota DPRD DKI Jakarta yang terpilih nanti adalah orang-orang pilihan yang bekerja untuk kepentingan rakyat," ujar Amir Hamzah, Ketua Budgeting Metropolitan Watch (BMW) di Jakarta belum lama ini.
Menurutnya, BMW bersama Himpunan Masyarakat Untuk Kemanusiaan dan Keadilan (Humanika), Koalisi Rakyat Pemerhati Jakarta Baru (KATAR), Aliansi Masyarakat Jakarta (AMARTA), dan Komisi Pemantau dan Pemberdayaan Parlemen Indonesia (KP3I), berharap masyarakat selektif dalam memberikan suaranya.
"Jika orang-orangnya tidak kompeten tentu akan sangat merugikan masyarakat. Masa depan warga dan kota ini yang dipertaruhkan," katanya.
Jakarta (B2B) - The five non-governmental organizations in Jakarta want the legislative candidates, who will sit in Jakarta Parliament (DPRD), the chosen people that have good quality and integrity.
"We want the chosen DPRD members to be the chosen people who will work for the people`s needs later," stated Head of Budgeting Metropolitan Watch (BMW), Amir Hamzah, recently.
According to Hamzah, his organization together with the Community for Humanity and Justice (Humanika), People Coalition of New Jakarta Observers (KATAR), Jakarta Society Alliance (AMARTA), and Commission of Indonesia Parliament Supervisor and Empowerment (KP3I), hope the citizens would be selective in giving their votes. And, the Human Resource Quality (SDM) of selected legislative candidates must also be seriously considered because their duties later will be making policies and discussing budgets.
"If the legislative candidates chosen are not competent, it will be very harmful for the society. The future of the society and this city is at stake," he said.
