DPRD Will Call DKI Transportation Agency, Collect Clarification Officers Stop Drivers Until Riding The Car Kap

Chairman of the NasDem Faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Wibi Andrino, said that he would summon the ranks of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency to ask for an explanation regarding the dispute between his officers and a car driver whose video went viral on social media.

The DKI Transportation Agency has given an explanation to the public about the reason why its officers stopped the car in the Setiabudi area and had an argument with the driver, so that an unexpected Dishub officer climbed onto the hood of the car trying to escape from the scene.

However, Wibi assessed that Commission B of the DKI Jakarta DPRD still needed complete clarification regarding the incident.

"I will ask our NasDem faction member in commission B who is a partner of the Transportation Agency to summon and ask for clarification to get a complete explanation," Wibi said in his statement, Thursday, January 4.

Wibi said there were two different perceptions that were captured by the public. Some thought that this case was due to the mistakes of the Transportation Agency officers who seemed to have forcibly stopped, others saw that the driver was guilty and endangered the officer by deliberately running his car when the officer went up the hood.

Therefore, the DPRD needs complete information to determine whether or not there is abuse of authority by the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency person.

"If there is a violation of the SOP and authority, of course strict sanctions must be enforced," said Wibi.

The action of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency (Dishub) officer fell on the hood of the car on Wednesday, January 3, which went viral on social media. In a video recorded by a man driving a car, a number of Dishub officers were seen stopping a car he was driving. Officers asked the driver to get out of the car. But the car driver refused.

The feud continued until the officers looked emotional. Although there were several Dishub officers trying to block the car, this did not make the driver obey the officers' request. The car driver actually accelerated his speed.

One of the officers suddenly got on the hood of the car holding a windshield with a tense face. The scene of the Dishub officer on the hood of the car lasted quite a while.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, explained the chronology of their version. On Wednesday, January 3, 2024 at 13.30 WIB, Dishub members monitored and supervised illegal parking in the Setiabudi area, South Jakarta.

At the time of building on Jalan Denpasar Raya, one of the drivers of the red Avanza car No Kend A 1679 YG recorded and pointed a middle finger at all officers, the driver passed 4 times at the location while pointing his middle finger at the officer.

At around 15.30 WIB, officers intended to stop the driver from asking about his purpose and purpose back and forth while pointing his middle finger at the officer, but the driver was not cooperative and chose to step on the gas and almost hit the officer, one of the officers was trying to avoid the car being knocked off and the engine hood was carried to the Menteng area.

The Avanza car had hit a 2-wheeled driver but did not stop and continued to go fast, there were two people who tried to catch the perpetrator's car.

Finally, these two communities were able to stop the vehicle on Jalan Menteng and members of the Satpelhub, Setiabudi District arrived at the location, and the vehicle with the driver was secured to the Setiabudi Police.

Currently, the problem is resolved amicably and the driver has apologized to the Transportation Agency officer.
