Burdening The Company, DKI DPRD Agrees That JIS Management Will Be Released From Jakpro

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta DPRD member Justin Adrian Untayana agreed if the DKI Provincial Government released the management of the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) from PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro).

Bearing in mind, until now the DKI regional-owned enterprise (BUMD) is still recording company losses every year.

One of them is due to the operational burden and depreciation of JIS which reaches Rp200 billion per year.

"This has a significant impact on Jakpro's financial performance, which since 2020 has continued to record negative profit in the hundreds of billions of rupiah. Finally, in 2024, it will lose IDR 518 billion," Justin told reporters, Tuesday, August 12.

As a record, the construction of JIS was built with debt funds for the National Economic Recovery (PEN) from the central government.

Currently, the DKI Provincial Government still has to pay the remaining Rp3.5 trillion of PEN's total debt for a number of developments in Jakarta.

Therefore, if there are private parties who want to manage JIS, Justin emphasized that they must be able to optimize JIS's commercial potential in order to provide benefits to the Jakarta economy and APBD's revenue.

"Anyone who manages JIS in the future for commercial purposes must be able to have a real impact on finance and budget in Jakarta. Don't let JIS be built with public money but just leave it to the private sector without reciprocity," explained Justin.

Previously, DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung claimed that many parties had offered to become JIS managers when he led Jakarta.

According to him, the interest of outsiders to manage an international standard stage was caused by its plan to improve access and infrastructure in the area.

"Now many people have come to ask to be the manager of JIS management. That shows that with such regulations, many people want to," said Pramono in the BNI City Station area, Central Jakarta, Thursday, July 31.

Pramono explained a number of programs that he discussed and were already running at JIS. Starting from the construction of a connecting bridge between JIS and Ancol, making JIS a Persija cage, to holding other activities at the stadium built by the former Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan.

"Fortunately I am one of those who continue the good things of whoever the governor is. So that way I am sure that JIS in the next year will definitely be a place, yes, a premium place for Jakarta residents," he said.
