There Is Still No Certainty About The Sanctions For Gibran Violations In CFD, Satpol PP: Already Passed It

JAKARTA - Head of the DKI Jakarta Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) Arifin is reluctant to reveal whether the DKI Provincial Government has sanctioned the vice presidential candidate number 2 Gibran Rakabuming Raka in the case of distributing milk in the Sudirman-Thamrin car free day (CFD) area.

According to Arifin, the case has passed and there is no need to talk about it anymore.

"How come you're back there again, there again? Already, it's gone by," said Arifin when met at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Tuesday, January 30.

Although the DKI Provincial Government is still silent about violating Gibran's rules for distributing campaign materials in the CFD area, Arifin claims that his party has been monitoring the safety of the motor vehicle free day (HBKB) activities.

"If the pp pol is in securing CFD activities, for example on the CFD route there should be no prohibited activities, yes, that day action was immediately taken. Usually that's the case," continued Arifin.

Central Jakarta Bawaslu has decided that the activities of the vice presidential candidate number 2, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, which distributes milk in the Sudirman-Thamrin CFD area, do not fulfill the elements of election violations.

However, Gibran was declared to have violated another rule, namely DKI Governor Regulation (Pergub) Number 12 of 2016 concerning the Implementation of Motor Vehicle Free Day (HBKB). Then, what sanctions can be imposed on Gibran who distributes one of his campaign products at CFD?

Referring to Article 7 paragraph (2) of the Governor Regulation 12 of 2016, it is stated that the HBKB or CFD should not be used for the benefit of political parties and SARA as well as incitement speeches.

Then, Article 9 paragraph (2) letter e states that HBKB participants who violate the provisions in filling out the HBKB implementation event, the HBKB organizers will give a warning letter.

Article 9 paragraph (2) letter f states that if the HBKB participant who has been sanctioned by the reprimand repeats his actions, then the person concerned is no longer allowed to fill the activities in the implementation of the next HBKB.

Thus, if the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government imposes sanctions on Gibran due to the incident at CFD Sudirman-Thamrin on December 3, 2023. The eldest son of President Joko Widodo will only receive a written warning.

The Central Jakarta Bawaslu decision came out on January 3 evening, after summoning Gibran to be clarified during the day.

"Recommends findings with registration number 001/Reg/TM/PP/City/12.01/XII/2023 regarding the distribution of milk (Greenfields) by Gibran Rakabuming Raka to residents who are in the car free day area of Central Jakarta on December 3, 2023 which was registered on December 11, 2023 as another violation of the law," said Head of Central Jakarta Bawaslu Christian Nelson Pangkey or Sonny in his statement.
