Chairman Of The DKI Jakarta DPRD Prasetyo Edi Marsudi

JAKARTA - Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetyo Edi Marsudi, highlighted the operational budget and other needs for the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) which reaches IDR 220 billion per year.

Meanwhile, JIS is currently rarely the location of football matches. When he became the venue for the Dewa 19 music concert last February, it also caused problems with access and traffic chaos.

Prasetyo asked PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) to clean up. Jakpro as the BUMD managing JIS must look for ways to increase revenue with various activities held at the international-class stadium.

This was conveyed by Prasetyo when receiving an audience from The Jakmania which also presented the President Director of PT Jakpro Iwan Takwin.

"JIS operations are big, sir. If you (Jakpro) don't start running (events held at JIS) from now on, where can the Rp220 billion be obtained from? Pigs can't get that tight either. Right? From here, we need to try to start from the bottom up," said Prasetyo at the DKI Jakarta DPRD Building, Thursday, March 30.

The problem is, reflecting on the chaos of the dispersal of the Dewa 19 concert, infrastructure and access to JIS are considered not yet worthy to be attended by large audiences. Therefore, Prasetyo asked Jakpro to improve infrastructure by involving input from football supporters.

"While the (input) of sports communities there. Moreover, what Jakmania said earlier, the (access) east ramp must be opened. It must be fast, sir, because when yesterday tried the Dewa 19 show, it was a mess. We have built a large stadium and there is a problem, so it must be resolved," explained Prasetyo.

"Actually, the Acting Governor must also support it so that Persija friends can play at home. With such a grand stadium, can we not use it?" he continued.

For information, some time ago Jakpro admitted that his party had to reap revenue of Rp220 billion per year from the use of JIS.

In detail, Jakpro costs around IDR 50 billion to IDR 60 billion for operational maintenance costs, security, electrical mechanics, to building insurance.

Then, there is a cost of depreciation or accumulation of fees allocated for fixed assets that will shrink over a period. Jakpro calculates JIS's depreciation of IDR 150 billion per year.

In addition, Jakpro must also gain more income in addition to covering operational costs and depreciation, the nominal estimate is around Rp. 30 billion per year. Thus, JIS's revenue which is Jakpro's target is Rp. 220 billion per year.
