JAKARTA - Secretary of the Regional Leadership Council (DPD) of the DKI Jakarta PDIP Gembong Warsono explained the reason his party immediately decided to impose sanctions for removing or changing between times (PAW) to Cinta Mega from members of the DKI Jakarta DPRD due to being caught playing slot games during the DPRD plenary meeting.

The DPD PDIP DKI attitude was questioned by the PDIP Central Executive Board (DPP) for not facilitating Cinta Mega to provide clarification to party officials at the provincial level, before imposing sanctions.

When this case first emerged, PDIP only asked for an explanation from Cinta Mega internally of the PDIP faction of the DKI DPRD, to immediately decide PAW in the DKI PDIP DPD plenary meeting.

This attitude, said Gembong, was taken on the grounds that he wanted to move quickly to follow up on cases of ethical violations of Cinta Mega as a member of the council.

"The consideration of DPD in an internal meeting, DPD already feels that it is enough to impose sanctions. What is the basis? The first is a report from the faction, the second is the opinion of the community who really does not accept what is being done by the person concerned. So, the DPD moved quickly to impose sanctions on the person concerned," said Gembong to reporters, Monday, July 31.

According to Gembong, the DPD DPIP DKI feels that the reports of the factions and comments of the public are sufficient as the basis for imposing PAW sanctions on Cinta Mega. This is because the DPD PDIP DKI considers evidence of Cinta Mega violating ethics to be clear.

"DPD sees this as a very principle issue, which according to the public, this is not a good thing to do in a very sacred room, where the room is a place that determines the sustainability of the Jakarta development process, the welfare process of Jakarta residents," explained Gembong.

"Because when talking about ethics, it concerns a sense that council members should not hurt the feelings of the people given to the party, to those concerned as their representatives. Do not let us damage the feelings of the community like that," he added.

Previously, the Chairperson of the PDIP DPP for Honorary Affairs, Komarudin Watubun, said thathya had summoned Cinta Mega for this case. In her clarification, Cinta Mega admitted that at the time of the incident she only wanted to kill boredom by playing games while in the plenary meeting room.

"Indeed, he said that at that time because they had a meeting for too long. So he had time to open his cellphone and look at playing games, but he forgot to close, closed again, finally it was highlighted when the advertisement, the online game ad entered, but we didn't just believe it," he said.

However, hearing Cinta's explanation, Komar admitted that he would not just believe it. He emphasized that the DPP would still carry out further examinations before making a decision.

"We still need additional examinations with the DPD because the DPD has fulfilled the procedure or not, after that the ethics and discipline committee recommended to the DPP to impose sanctions, regarding the sanctions, the DPP decided," said Komarudin.

The DPP wants to hear first an explanation from the DKI Jakarta PDIP DPD regarding why it directly imposes organizational sanctions on Love.

This is because the imposition of organizational sanctions cannot be decided immediately, let alone not accompanied by the summoning of Cinta first. He said that everything must have a mechanism or stage.

"The DPD must also be asked for an explanation, because according to Mrs. Cinta Mega DPD, the DPD immediately met and decided to impose organizational sanctions, it was not allowed, she had to be there and had the right to submit clarification. So there was no incoming news, the party immediately decided. That can't be done, PDI Perjuangan can't be like that," he said.
