Representatives bill Promise

The inauguration of DPR / DPRD spending billions of rupiah has usai.Keberhasilan tender their parliamentary seats, did not escape the role of the community who have voted in the democratic party in the last 4 April 2009.

Hopefully, after they were elected and sworn in, time to fulfill a campaign promise. Ironically we are always faced with the fact that representatives of the people who are expected to fight for the fate of the people in parliament, it is often broken.


Once elected, they will appear more self-centered and groups. Sadly there is more involved in corruption, drugs and cheating. Even a policy that is not pro-people. Hopefully it did not happen in Banyuasin district.

This fact can be seen in both visible through the electronic media and newspapers. Not to mention we are faced with reality, such as increased poverty, unemployment rose, the children are malnourished, street vendors eviction, hunger that seemed to exacerbate the burden of suffering of the people. Another reality, we are faced with prices soaring demand, rising fuel, transportation costs expensive, complicated public services.

But on the other hand, we also witness the honorable members of the council's budget for their salary increases, the budget official car, home and other facilities are all luxurious, there were plans for the House members who want to renovate the building representatives who have spelled out very luxurious with hundreds of billions of dollars of funds .

The fact it will continue to increase over the control of the weakness of civil society (civil society) to the DPR / DPRD. Election practices in 2009, featuring the new faces, new parties, new candidates who have proven their ability. Not even close the possibility of conducting elections in 2009 show the representatives of the people who do not have the ability and competence.

One political observer thinks Sutoro Eko, actually under Law No. 22/1999, DPRD powerful than the government and regional heads. Public hoped, that the Parliament had become a powerful political capital to build a democracy with checks and balances so well that local governments can go in accountable, transparent, and responsive.

But a strong parliament that it was a cause many problems: the new parliament into a corrupt oligarchy, low capacity, no responsibility, not sensitive to the aspirations of the people and prefers his own interests and groups.

Meanwhile, the political mechanism we show that political parties are often used as a vehicle of political elites, such as a political party that carried the regent candidate who is a pragmatic political decision than a political party that carries the candidate. So did representatives of the people or members of parliament have voiced the party's decision. This is, causing legislators are more submissive and obedient to the will of the party, because the parties could dismiss them from the party membership on the impact of a recall of legislators in parliament. These conditions forced the members of parliament, more put the interests and benefit the party, even though policies produced would be miserable people who choose it.

Phenomenon, not only we met in the Parliament center, but in the Parliament district or city. In Banyuasin?

Above problems should be found way out, so people could collect Banyuasin and feel the political promises of representatives of the people, in this context there are several strategies that should be done by the community.

First, build public spaces to obtain legal products (regulations) and policies generated by the parliament. Meanwhile, members of parliament, should provide answers and reasons for making regulations and policies, as well as the perceived impact of the people from the products they produce.

Secondly, strengthening the capacity of civil society movements (civil society) NGO, NGO, NGOs and youth organizations that have accountability, integrity, transparency, and impartiality to the interests of the people. Efforts to strengthen civil society, must be built by raising elements of society such as students, peasants, workers, businesses, religious organizations and others that have the bargaining power (bargaining position) is strong to deal with the Parliament, and can cooperate with each other for the sake of the people.

Third, the community must dare opinions both in the community and in the media, to criticize, suggest or express positive ideas for the betterment and welfare of the people BANYUASIN. Development of opinions, criticisms, suggestions and ideas are expected to be a valuable input for BANYUASIN legislators in making regulations and policies for the interests of the people.

Fourth, the community must dare to claim the promise and political contract with the people's representatives in parliament. With the political contract with the members of parliament, the people have the capital to obtain policies and regulations that aspirational outcome Parliament, also serves as a brake for the legislators not to corruption.

In contrast, Parliament has a reference to determine and make legal products and policies, also have confidence that products produced would be accepted by the people, because under the contract and the political will of the people, but it also can work in peace, because it truly gain the trust of the people.
