Anies Abstains Again At Plenary Budget Meeting With DPRD, PDIP: It's The Same As Thinking Jakartans Are Not Important

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan was absent from the plenary meeting of the results of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) discussion on the 2021 Governor's Accountability Report (LKPJ) which was held at the DKI DPRD building.

Member of the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Jhonny Simanjuntak, viewed Anies' absence from the LKPJ plenary meetings and plenary meetings on the use of the budget several times previously showed that Anies considered Jakartans unimportant.

Because, in this plenary meeting, the DPRD also conveys the absorption of the aspirations of the citizens that need to be included in the DKI Provincial Government program.

"This plenary meeting is a strategic and important event. Actually, when he is not present, Pak Anies is the same as dismissing the citizens of Jakarta, considering the citizens of Jakarta to be unimportant. Because members of the DPRD through the election process of the citizens of Jakarta want and vote", said Jhonny at the Building DPRD DKI Jakarta, Monday, April 25.

Jhonny emphasized that the agenda for submitting the LKPJ for the 2021 fiscal year is Anies' responsibility to the citizens of Jakarta in representing the use and achievement of the APBD.

However, unfortunately, Anies Anies preferred to visit the location of the fire in Gembrong Market, East Jakarta, and meet the affected residents.

The presence of the executive in the plenary meeting regarding the achievement of budget revenues and expenditures was represented by the Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria.

In fact, if you want to meet the people affected by the fire, continued Jhonny, Anies can come to the location shortly after the plenary meeting ends, instead of coming at the same time as the meeting.

"This is a reflection of the arrogance of a leader who he doesn't focus on anymore, he considers trivial because the citizens of Jakarta are not important because they are not present at the plenary meeting. Even though, even after reading this (LKPJ), he can come there (the location of the fire)", said Johnny.

"After all, Mr. Anies has the equipment, ranks, agencies. Actually, the head of the department and the assistance was distributed, that's enough", he continued.

It is known, that this morning Anies visited the location of the fire at Gembrong Market, East Jakarta. He met residents who were evacuated because their homes were engulfed in flames last night.

Anies' arrival was enthusiastically welcomed by the residents. Several residents expressed their gratitude for feeling that Anies was being cared for directly. In fact, there was a time when someone shouted Anies "president" while traveling to the fire site.
