Additional Criticism Of IDR 516 Billion Budget To DKI Satpol PP, Tina Toon PDIP: Enforcement Is Not Maximum

JAKARTA - Member of Commission A of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Agustina Hermanto or Tina Toon, criticized the addition of the Satpol PP budget in the DKI Regional Budget for the 2022 fiscal year.

Based on employee expenditure data received by the DKI DPRD, the additional budget of Rp. 516 billion was in the form of additional employee income.

"After the Pergub APBD was issued, it turned out that there were indeed additions. Commission A asked how to implement it. Yesterday I criticized it too," Tina said when contacted, Friday, February 18.

Because, Tina saw that until now the enforcement of PPKM rules carried out by Satpol PP to individuals and business places had not been maximized, even though currently COVID-19 cases were increasing.

"For example, yesterday there was a crowd at one of the malls in Kelapa Gading. That was the case, but it doesn't feel like the maximum for the Satpol PP apparatus and their supporters," said Tina.

Not to mention the issue of the size of the grant budget disbursed by Satpol PP this year. The grant funds are earmarked for three agencies, namely the Jaya Regional Military Command (Kodam Jaya), the Permanent Garrison Command I/Jakarta, and the Polda Metro Jaya.

Tina Toon said Commission A of the DPRD will hold another meeting with Satpol PP to evaluate the issue of grant funds which are larger than the operational funds of Satpol PP itself.

"There will be a follow-up to the evaluation where, why, the grant can be proportionally larger than the operational one. Even the Satpol said I am jealous of the agency he gave the grant to. Now, this is a big question too. and the next budget discussion is the same," he said

It is known, the total budget for the DKI Satpol PP in this year's APBD is IDR 1.38 trillion. This amount consists of SKPD expenditures of Rp. 625.15 billion and personnel expenditures of Rp. 757.21 billion.

SKPD expenditures were divided into PTT and PJLP in the amount of Rp. 229.85 billion, grant activities of Rp. 313.72 billion, and sectoral activities of Rp. 81.57 billion. Personnel expenses were divided into salaries and other allowances of Rp241.20 billion and additional employee income of Rp561.01 billion.
