Ready To Add The Number Of Commissions, DPR Waits For Ministry Nomenclature

JAKARTA - The House of Representatives (DPR) for the period 2024-2029 will wait for the nomenclature of the ministry in the cabinet led by Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka, before setting the number of commissions.

"We are looking for a balance of nomenclature or the STOK of the elected president. If it has been issued, the DPR will adjust because it is impossible for the DPR to widen itself, while the nomenclature has not yet come out. Don't make sense later," said a member of the DPR elected for the period 2024-2029 PDIP faction Said Abdullah, at the DPR building, Senayan, Tuesday, October 1.

Furthermore, he said the ideal number of commissions to accommodate the number of partners in the DPR at this time was 13 commissions.

"We are trying to make the budget efficient so that the ideal addition of commissions from 11 to 12 or 13. There should be no more than 2 additional commissions," he said.

Said revealed that the additional budget if there was an additional commission was IDR 4 billion. He emphasized that there was no additional building construction costs for the two additional commissions.

"No more than Rp. 3 billion or 4 billion because the number of members remains. Only the leadership has been added because partners in commission 12-13 are indeed taken from overloaded commissions. There is no need for additional development. The DPR Building is already wide. After all, we want to move to IKN," concluded Said.
