Jakarta - The House of Representatives (DPR) has targeted to complete 37 out of the total 159 bills listed in the National Legislation Program (Prolegnas) this year. Can the DPR achieve its target? "For the 2015 priority, 37 bills. We have accommodated proposals from commissions, factions, the public, the Regional Representative Council (DPD), and the government," said Firman Soebagyo, Vice Chairman of the DPR's Legislation Body, when contacted on February 9, 2015.
