Indonesian Vice President to Run Government
Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid said Wednesday that he would hand over the day to day running of the government to vice president Megawati Sukarnoputri.
Wahid made the statement at the an annual session of the country' s top legislature, the People's Consultative Assembly, or MPR.
He said the decision was aimed at increasing the efficiency of the government which is facing many complicated problems.
The move follows scathing criticism from the MPR of the first year of the President's rule.
But Wahid has made clear that he will still be boss of the world' s fourth most populous nation as it struggles to escape from three years of crisis.
