Invitation to La’o Hamutuk Public Meeting
What does Timór-Leste need from the International Community after UNMIT’s mandate ends?

Tuesday 23 October 2012.    9:00 am - 12:15 pm
Dili University (UNDIL), Mascarenhas, Dili
Uphill from the Alola Foundation, across from the former CNE office

La’o Hamutuk invites the public to participate in a discussion about the mandate of UNMIT in Timor-Leste which will finish this December.

During the mandates of the UN in Timor-Leste since 1999, UN assistance has helped achieve some good results, such as the creation of a democratic state under rule of law, with peace and security. Unfortunately UNMIT has not yet implemented some important commitments, including ending impunity for crimes against humanity committed during the Indonesian occupation. In addition, the UN and the State of Timor-Leste have not yet chosen a sustainable and inclusive development path.

The people of Timor-Leste, together with our leaders, must take responsibility for these gaps after UNMIT leaves.

Speakers:

• Deputy Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General, Shigeru Mochida 

Reflections on the successes of UN missions in Timor-Leste and what remains to be achieved

• RDTL Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Luis Guterres 

Reflections on hopes for what the UN Missions were not able to do during their time in Timór-Leste

• Representative, ETAN, Jill Sternberg 

International solidarity from ETAN now and in the future after UNMIT ends

• Director, Fundasaun Mahein, Nelson Belo 

The Security Sector after UNMIT’s mandate finishes

• Researcher, La’o Hamutuk, Inês Martins 

Sustainable development after UNMIT finishes

The public meeting will be in Tetum and English. We are grateful for your attention and participation.

Filling gaps in "Taxing Times"

The excellent new ABC Television Four Corners documentary Taxing Times in Timor highlights critical issues for Timor-Leste, and will open they eyes of Australians and others. The focus of the program – Timor-Leste's fight against oil companies who are ripping off this new, small, impoverished country – is important for people everywhere.

Two years ago, La'o Hamutuk researched and wrote Making the Oil Companies Pay What They Owe, which we just updated. We are writing this blog to fill some gaps in the program, especially for people who live in or want to know more about Timor-Leste.

Unfortunately, the program often reports Timorese politicians' public relations, rather than their actions or underlying facts. Nearly everyone interviewed is on the Government payroll. The few alternative voices (opposition leader Mari Alkatiri, the World Bank’s Hans Beck, La’o Hamutuk’s Charles Scheiner) are edited to unreservedly support Government policies, giving a partial picture of their views.

Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão appropriately focuses on the tremendous needs for education, nutrition, agriculture and rural roads. Unfortunately, the failure to adequately address these needs does not come from foreign advisors or lack of money, but from the Government’s own budget and implementation policies. Timor-Leste  spends much less on health and education than other developing countries. Three-fourths of our people are farmers, but only 1.4% of public spending is for agriculture. Only one-third of the money allocated for roads last year was actually used. Infrastructure mega projects – especially oil-fueled electricity and Tasi Mane oil facilities, consume the majority of public funding, with questionable returns.

The key question is not how many dollars to spend, but how to get the best value from Timor-Leste’s finite, nonrenewable resource wealth. In 2011, 46% of all state expenditures went for electricity. The $1.2 billion national electricity project costs five times what it would cost to put solar panels on every house in the country. Fuel and maintenance of the power plants and national grid will cost more than this one-time investment in solar panels which require no fuel, local grids, and little maintenance. Currently, ratepayers pay less than one-quarter of the cost of generating power, so Timor-Leste’s limited funds will subsidize affluent people who use the most kilowatt-hours.

Similarly, Timor-Leste's government will 'invest' 5-10 billion dollars in the Tasi Mane south coast petroleum infrastructure project with few spin-off benefits and no demonstrable net financial return. Investments in Timor-Leste’s human resources -- health care, sanitation, nutrition, and primary education -- would generate a more certain result. Investments for economic development should prioritize agriculture and light industry, creating jobs while producing food and products to substitute for imports.

The documentary misleads viewers by ignoring the first and largest greatest theft of Timor-Leste’s oil reserves – Australia’s continuing ‘occupation’ of 40% of our oil and gas wealth by refusing to negotiate a maritime boundary. In the map at right, everything above the green line, including the blue and orange areas with all of Greater Sunrise, Bayu-Undan, Kitan and Laminaria-Corallina, would belong to Timor-Leste under current international law.

In 2006, Australia coerced Timor-Leste's negotiators into accepting a "gag rule" in the CMATS Treaty which prohibits this government from talking about maritime boundaries in any forum. Although the treaty may expire next February, the injustice of this arrangement, compounded by the arrogance of Woodside which was vividly portrayed in the documentary, is at the heart of the controversy over the Greater Sunrise pipeline.

Timor-Leste's determination to bring this gas to our shores is deeper than the dubious economic reasons examined in La'o Hamutuk's 2008 report. It is at the core of this nation's struggle for sovereignty. ConocoPhillips, Woodside, Shell and other companies drilled for oil in Timor-Leste's maritime territory during the illegal Indonesian occupation, and their current tax evasions continue this pattern of stealing from the Timorese people. 

Timor-Leste’s total oil and gas wealth is limited, totaling $40-$50 billion, so $3 billion in unpaid taxes is significant. But at current spending and economic growth trends, these reserves – which finance more than 95% of State activities and two-thirds of our entire economy -- could be used up in about 12 years. We welcome the billions which will be recovered through more effective tax collection – but they can only delay bankruptcy by one or two years.

Four Corners persuaded a fairly new World Bank official to acknowledge that the Bank faulted itself for encouraging Timor-Leste not to spend unsustainably. This does not accurately reflect the 232-page review by the Bank’s Independent Evaluation Group (9 MB), which rated the “overall outcome” of the Bank’s support to Timor-Leste during 2000-2010 years as “moderately unsatisfactory.” The Bank’s IEG found only one sector of the Bank’s work “highly satisfactory” -- “assistance to Timor-Leste in securing its petroleum revenues and managing them transparently.” On the other hand, the IEG concluded that the Bank was “unsatisfactory” on poverty and unemployment alleviation, youth unemployment and disaffection, legislation, private sector development and agriculture.

A seven-page response from Finance Minister Emilia Pires is appended to the IEG’s report, praising the Bank’s openness and methodology, while pointing out the shortage of concrete data. However, the Minister praised as a “contribution to data enhancement” a 2010 “Poverty assessment” by the Bank which “demonstrated a 9% reduction in poverty [from 50% in 2007 to 41% in 2009] … as a result of newly exercised social and expansionary fiscal policies.” The Government and others cited this number repeatedly, but the Bank had invented it with a questionable statistical “imputation” which did not measure poverty.

Unfortunately, both the Government and the Bank were wrong about 2009, and the poor are still with us. The Government's as-yet-unreleased 2011 Household Income and Expenditure Survey, based on people’s actual living situations, confirms that the Bank’s prediction of reduced poverty in 2009 was erroneous.  The sad reality is that in 2011 about 50% of Timorese families were below the poverty line, just as in 2007, which means that about 70,000 more people are in poverty.

Government spending has increased eight-fold since 2007, with total expenditures of about $4 billion. The GDP growth from this deluge of dollars – mostly flowing to foreign companies – has enriched a few people, barely touching the impoverished rural majority. We need inclusive, sustainable, equitable development.

In this democratic, sovereign nation, Timor-Leste’s officials choose what advice to follow. We hope they base their decisions on objective, comprehensive, long-term, fact-based analysis, and not on self-serving agendas or unrealizable fantasies. La’o Hamutuk believes that the Four Corners team shares this goal, but unfortunately the latter part of Taxing Times in Timor does not reflect it.

OrsRect2012: Borrowing from ourselves

[Blog ida ne'e iha lian Tetum]

Timor-Leste's newly elected Fifth Constitutional Government has asked Parliament to approve a revision (rectification) of the $1.7 billion dollar 2012 State Budget enacted last December. The new expenditures, mainly pensions for veterans and old people, will use money already appropriated for the Tasi Mane project which will not be spent this year. However, the Government has promised to replace this money in the 2013 budget that it will present to Parliament next month.

On Friday 14 September 2012, the Council of Ministers approved a mid-year budget rectification proposal (full text in Portuguese) and sent it to Parliament for enactment. Parliament began its legislative session the next day, and Economics Committee C went to Baucau on Monday to discuss the proposed budget law.

The proposed revision does not change the total amount of the 2012 State Budget. However, it adds $55.4 million in new spending, to be financed by borrowing $50 million from the $164 million allocated to the Tasi Mane petroleum infrastructure project in the 2012 budget's Infrastructure Fund "on condition of being reinstated in 2013." Timor-Leste's 2013 State Budget will probably continue to be one of the fastest-growing in the world, which La'o Hamutuk believes leads to bankruptcy in about 12 years.

The biggest new expenditures are these, with details in the budget documents on our website:

• $26.9 million more for veterans' pensions, adding to $80.4 million already appropriated, of which $73.8 million had been spent by 18 September;
• $ 7.1 million more for old-age pensions, adding to $35.9 million already appropriated for Social Security, of which $16.7 million had been spent by 18 September;
• $ 6.1 million more for the Contingency Reserve, adding to $21.2 already appropriated, of which apparently only $1.6 million had been spent by 18 September;
• $ 6.4 million more in three items for the military and police, adding to $64.1 million already appropriated, of which $36.9 million had been spent by 18 September;
• $ 9.0 million more in seven other items for education, health, water transport, civil society and other functions.

The proposed rectification also shifts funds between ministries, including those where were terminated and new ones created by dividing previous ministries. La'o Hamutuk's web page on this rectification includes deeper analysis and links to the Government's Budget Book (Tetum), Program and other relevant materials in English, Tetum and Portuguese.

Members of Parliament / Deputadu sira

Tomorrow, 12 September, Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao will present the program of the Fifth Constitutional Government of Timor-Leste to the National Parliament which was elected last July. The session will be broadcast live on TVTL starting at 10 am, and may continue on Thursday and Friday.

La'o Hamutuk is publishing a list of the Members of the new Parliament with their committee assignments, parties and mobile numbers, which should help citizens communicate their views to their elected representatives. Click on the images at right, or download a PDF file which will be easier to print.

We have published a similar list of Ministers and other members of the Government, including their email addresses.

Infrastructure for Timor-Leste’s people

Everyone agrees that Timor-Leste’s current infrastructure is unacceptable. Some parts still have not recovered from 1999, when Indonesian soldiers and police and pro-Indonesia militia destroyed almost everything they could. Most people have no running water, many villages are still not connected by passable roads, schools and public buildings are far below standard, lack of irrigation limits food production, we need more hospitals and clinics, and many villages still lack consistent electricity. Why aren't we building these facilities?

Timor-Leste allocated more than half of its 2011 and 2012 state budgets to physical infrastructure. Many, including La’o Hamutuk, are concerned that the lower priority given to human resources – health and education – will limit this nation’s future. We also wonder if a billion dollars to build the centralized, oil-powered electricity system is wise  -- solar panels on every house in the country would cost one-fifth this much, less than it will cost every year just to fuel and maintain the Hera and Betano power plants.

People across the country are crying out for infrastructure – especially rural roads, schools and water – to improve their lives and help them integrate into the national economy. To understand how the Government is responding, La’o Hamutuk reviewed 2011 spending on this sector. The Ministry of Finance published this information last April in the 2011 Budget Execution Report; current and historic data is on the Budget Transparency Portal.

The 2011 budget allocated $599 million to the Infrastructure Fund for projects costing more than one million dollars or taking more than one year to build. Three-quarters of this was for electricity, and $150 million was for everything else: water, schools, hospitals, government buildings, military bases, police posts, irrigation, roads, bridges, ports, public housing, airports, etc.

We don’t believe that spending money is the best way to evaluate effectiveness. It’s more important to look at the results -- if a project was completed with good quality and is being used. However, public expenditure is necessary (but not sufficient) to build infrastructure. Better design, procurement and project management can improve the value Timor-Leste gets for its money (experts tell us that road projects here cost twice as much as similar ones in Indonesia or the Philippines), but zero spending will produce zero results even with flawless implementation.

When the year’s finances were closed, 96% of the money allocated for the national electricity system had been disbursed, mostly with two foreign companies. However, only 30% of the money appropriated for all other projects was spent.

The blue diagonally striped bars show how much Parliament appropriated in the 2011 budget for large infrastructure projects in each sector, on the right-hand scale in millions of dollars. The rules of the Infrastructure Fund allow the Government to shift money around, and the red checkered bars (and red numbers) show the final allocation for the year. The green solid bars (and green numbers) show how much was spent during 2011. Although the Infrastructure Fund rules allow unspent money to be carried over to 2012, the budgeted amounts are what the Government had planned to spend in 2011 alone, even for multi-year projects.

The wide yellow bars, on the left hand scale, show what percentage of the final infrastructure budget allocation was actually spent in 2011. Although nearly all of the money for electricity was used, nothing was spent for housing, even though the import of prefabricated houses for the MDG-Suco program had been justified because of an urgent need to build them quickly. Only half of the small amount allocated for health infrastructure was spent, as was only 1/8 of the original education appropriation. Many people complain about the poor state of the road network, and the Government increased the transport allocation from $23 to $40 million during the year – but they only spent $11 million, 27%.

As the Fifth Constitutional Government begins work, we hope they will pay more attention to results and implementation. We also hope they will explore how Timor-Leste can get more value for its money, so that the cost of building infrastructure projects here will be comparable with the rest of Southeast Asia. Reforms in procurement, project management, and corruption prevention will help, but better fiscal analysis, project conception and design, leadership, quality control and supervision are also essential.

Before embarking on more megaprojects, the government should conduct sincere cost-benefit analyses, with transparency and public consultation, to determine if the social and economic return on the investment justifies the expenditure. We have only a few years of oil and gas money remaining – and if we don’t invest it wisely we will be left with nothing. At the start of 2012, Timor-Leste’s Infrastructure Fund had $121 million that wasn’t spent last year and $761 million more from the 2012 state budget, and was expecting $43 million more in loans. We encourage the new Government, as it begins to implement the Strategic Development Plan, to use Infrastructure Fund money for projects which will benefit our entire population – unlike the two biggest items: $261 million more for the electricity system and $100 million to begin building the Suai supply base for offshore petroleum activities.
