Rival Coalitions Asked to Fokus Debates on Economic Programs

Jakarta (Antara) - Deputy general chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN) Dradjad Wibowo said the rival coalitions - the Red and White (KMP) and Great Indonesia (KIH)- should end political squabble for power to fully address the economic program. "The two camps should focus attention on finding the right steps to implement their programs, " Dradjad said in a discussion here on Saturday. He said discussions of working programs together by the two coalitions would convince investors of political stability in the country. The two coalitions, therefore should stop attempt to woo political parties from rival coalition and avoid talks on issues that could scare investors away, he said. "Such attempt to hijack political parties should be put to an end as it would be detrimental to stability politically and economically," he said. (*)
